Table on Unemployment in Bihar
Unemployment remains a significant challenge in Bihar, with rates showing a declining trend but still above the national average due to limited industrial growth and high population density. Below is a table summarizing the unemployment rate (usual status, persons aged 15+ years, rural + urban) over recent years based on Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) data.
| Year | Unemployment Rate (%) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2017-18 | 7.0 | Higher than national average |
| 2018-19 | 9.8 | Peak during economic slowdown |
| 2019-20 | 5.1 | Pre-COVID decline |
| 2020-21 | 4.6 | COVID-19 impacts; high underemployment |
| 2022-23 | 3.4 | Slightly above national 3.2%; youth urban rate around 10.8% |
| 2024-25 (Quarterly Estimate) | 5.2 | Recent quarterly data; disparities in rural vs. urban |
Youth unemployment (15-29 years) is notably higher, often around 10-21% in urban areas.
