Ramaswami: Over 26% of the workforce in India is without any job thus posing a dire threat to the social fabric and creating unbearable misery for millions. This is the estimate from the latest round (April 19) of weekly sample surveys carried out by Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE). The data shows joblessness zooming up after the Modi government declared a countrywide lockdown on March 24 in order to control the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, which has, so far, infected nearly 5 million people worldwide and caused nearly 2 lakh deaths, as per latest reports.
