Synopsis<\/b>:<\/span><\/h5>\n

The government’s<\/span> Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) <\/b>report shows a sharp increase in employment in agriculture. It has increased to 45.6% in 2019-20, compared to 42.5% of the total employment in 2018-19. This is a sign of distress as migration to agriculture has been due to compulsion and not in wake of better opportunities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
