According to the Second Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey Report, 2011-2012 conducted by the Labour Bureau, Government of India: Statement I: The unemployment rate actually saw a slight increase compared to the previous year (from 2.5% in 2010-11 to 2.8% in 2011-12 based on Usual Principal Status). Thus, it did not come down significantly. Statement 2: The report shows that Gujarat’s unemployment rate (1.2% on Usual Principal Status) was not the lowest among all states. Several other states like Rajasthan (0.9%), Haryana (0.9%), and Madhya Pradesh (1.1%) had lower unemployment rates during that period. Therefore, Gujarat did not top the list of least unemployed.

Employment-Unemployment surveys provide crucial data on the labour force, employment, and unemployment status across different demographic groups and regions in the country.

The Labour Bureau conducts these surveys using different approaches like Usual Status, Weekly Status, and Daily Status to capture various dimensions of the employment situation.
