Answer: 6.4%
Notes: The urban unemployment rate in Q3 FY25 (October-December 2024) remained unchanged at 6.4%, according to the latest Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) data. Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) is conducted by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). PLFS was launched in 2017 to provide frequent labour force data for better policy-making. The survey helps in assessing employment and unemployment trends in both urban and rural areas. The unchanged unemployment rate indicates stability in urban job opportunities during the quarter.
