These figures show how Delhi-NCR is generating jobs like no other city

An ASSOCHAM study shows that with 2.6 lakh new jobs, Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) has created the highest number of jobs during the fourth quarter of the last fiscal. This figure's relevance is understood only when you know that in the same period a total of 8.5 lakh jobs were created in eight major new cities.
During January to March 2016, Delhi was followed by Bengaluru (1.9 lakh jobs), Mumbai (1.5 lakh), Chennai (82.2 thousand) and Hyderabad (60 thousand). About 88.9% of job openings have been recorded in these top five cities, said the ASSOCHAM placement study.

"Among top metro cities, Delhi-NCR had maximum share of over 30.1% in job creation while Bengaluru witnessed a 23.4% contribution in job creation, followed by Mumbai with 18.6%," said DS Rawat, secretary general of ASSOCHAM.

As per the study, other major cities that have recorded significant job openings during January to March 2016 are Pune (49.2 thousand), Kolkata (25.2 thousand) and Ahmedabad (20.5 thousand).

Going sector-wise, Information technology (IT), IT-enabled services (ITeS) and the IT hardware sector together accounted for a majority share of about 60.6% in the total number of new jobs generated across sectors during January - March 2016, while services has ranked second with 17.6% share followed by manufacturing (9.4%), banking, financial services & insurance (7.6%) and construction & real estate (3.2%) in total employment generation in July.
