The country's unemployment rate was at 6.1 per cent in 2017-18, the statistics ministry said on Friday, confirming the figure leaked to Business Standard newspaper in January, which said it was the highest since 1972-73.

Fifty lakh men lost their jobs in the past two years beginning November 2016, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an overnight ban on high value currency, according to a new report.

Calling it a knee-jerk reaction, Surjit S Bhalla, the former member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economic Advisory Council, in his book 'Citizen Raj' has said that withholding the NSSO unemployment data by the government is a "huge mistake".

The Narendra Modi government has created "more than 10 crore jobs" in the past five years, Union Energy Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told NDTV.

The clarification came as the government faced opposition attacks over the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO)'s periodic labou...
