I too am seriously concerned like Amit over these kinds of statistics. I know very few persons who are really employed. As for women, the number will not come into any percentage. Perhaps they are considering even begging and household jobs as types of employment. Only then can the figures come to 38%.

As you must have seen the media did not mention any source in its report. i wanted to share this report in Access-India forum as I felt there might have been some of you who went to his seminar and can throw some light on this interesting data we read in the media.
