In the Economic Survey presented in Parliament on July 22, the government had said that the country needs 78 lakh jobs every year in the non-agricultural sector for good growth. However, the latest salary data from the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) shows that the private sector has lost 7 lakh jobs in the financial year 2023-24 as compared to the previous year.
