It also supplies data on the unemployment rate (UR) in the country. Data is calculated in urban areas as per the current weekly status (CWS), that is, “on the basis of a reference period od last seven days preceding the date of survey.” The results of the survey are released in the form of quarterly bulletins, each covering three months of the survey year.This quarterly bulletin – covering the period of October to December 2023 – is the twenty-first publication in the PLFS series. So far 20 such bulletins have been published starting from October - December 2023. The survey for this quarter covered 169,209 individuals from 44,544 households in 5,697 Urban Frame Survey Blocks (UFS) across the country. The sample included 85,606 men and 83,598 women. Additionally, the report provides data from the four preceding quarters: July-September 2023, April-June 2023, January-March 2023, October-December 2022.The 63-page report is divided into three broad sections: Introduction (Section 1), Key findings (Section 2) and Sample Size (Section 3).
