India's unemployment rate eased to 5.1% in July-September 2026, down from 5.4% in the previous quarter, as rural joblessness declined despite a marginal rise in urban unemployment.
The latest Periodic Labour Force Survey also recorded higher employment participation, particularly in rural areas and among women during the quarter.
