Considering the importance of availability of labour force data at more frequent time intervals, National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) launched Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) in April 2017. On the basis of PLFS, Quarterly Bulletins are brought out, corresponding to different quarters of the survey period, giving estimates of labour force indicators, viz., Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Worker Population Ratio (WPR), Unemployment Rate (UR), distribution of workers by broad status in employment and industry of work in the Current Weekly Status (CWS) for the urban areas. Twenty such Quarterly Bulletins starting from the quarter October - December 2018 upto the quarter July – September 2023 have already been released. This Bulletin for the quarter ending December 2023 is the twenty-first in the series.
