India’s unemployment rate is at a 45-year high, according to a controversial government report that's not yet published. The National Sample Survey Office's periodic labour force survey pegs the 2017-18 unemployment rate at 6.1%, the highest since 1972-73, reports Business Standard. It was just 2.2% in 2011-12. The report found that joblessness among rural youth jumped three-fold in the last five years. Among urban youth, 18.7% males and 27.2% females were without jobs. On Monday, two members of the National Statistical Commission resigned over the delay in publication of this report.
