Maharashtra Jobs People in Maharashtra are gradually moving off the farm and into other kinds of work. Since 2005, job growth in Maharashtra, led by services, has been higher than in many other states. This has resulted in more salaried employment. Today, one in every three workers in Maharashtra has a salaried job, which is among the highest in the country. Despite this, job creation in the state has failed to keep pace with the expansion of the working age population that is not in school, especially for women. While most rural women work, mainly in farming, they have withdrawn from the labor force in large numbers since 2005. Very few of the state’s urban women work. Non-farm employment is increasing in Maharashtra, but half the workforce still on the farm Employment share by sector, (%) 100 39 45 51 80 60 61 ■ Non-farm 55 40 49 ■ Farm 20 0 1994 2005 2012 Maharashtra’s share of non-farm employment is equal to the national average Non-farm employment share, 2012 (%) 100 100 96 80 74 73 65 64 61 61 60 58 57 51 51 51 51 50 50 50 48 47 45 44 44 43 42 41 40 38 40 38 32 27 20 0 DL GA KL TR TN PJ MN WB JK HR GJ UK AI MH JH KA RJ UP AP MZ OD AS MG HP MP NL SK BH AR CG Low Income States are highlighted in orange, AI is All India. 1 June 20, 2017 Maharashtra Jobs Job creation in Maharashtra was higher than in many other states after 2005 Number of jobs added, 2005-2012 (mn) Annual job growth, 2005-2012 (%) WB WB 1.8 UP UP 0.8 RJ RJ 1.1 MH MH 0.5 CG CG 1.6 BH BH 0.5 OD OD 0.7 AP AP 0.3 DL DL 2.2 MP MP 0.4 GJ GJ 0.3 TN TN 0.2 PJ PJ 0.5 TR TR 4.4 HP HP 1.3 SK SK 3.9 MG MG 0.7 GA GA 1.3 MZ MZ 1.1 MN MN 0.1 AR AR -0.1 AS AS 0.0 KL KL -0.1 JH JH -0.2 HR HR -0.3 NL NL -3.6 UK UK -1.0 KA KA -0.5 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 Low Income States are highlighted in orange, AI is All India.
