What Does Payroll Data Tell About J&K Job Seekers?

Unlike the rest of India, people in Jammu and Kashmir are entering the workforce late, latest Payroll data shows lending a fresh understanding of the labour market in the J&K that has been more in news for political reasons than economic ones.

In the month of November, at least 11,887 people aged 35 or above were informal sector jobs, whereas 6,536 were in the age group of 29-35. If you club both the age group and consider the 29 and above age group as one cohort then the number is nearly three and half times more than that of the 18-25 age group considered prime time for fresh job seekers in the labour market.
