Himachal Pradesh Jobs Most of Himachal Pradesh’s people are engaged in farming. Non-farm jobs account for a lower share of employment than in most other states. Over two-thirds of Himachal Pradesh’s workforce is self-employed, and very few of the rest have salaried jobs. Since 2005, jobs in the state have grown, albeit slowly. Many of the jobs created during this period were in construction. While female labor force participation in the state is high, it has been declining in recent times. A majority of Himachal Pradesh’s workforce is still employed on the farm Employment share by sector, (%) 100 25 36 42 80 75 60 ■ Non-farm 64 58 ■ Farm 40 20 0 1994 2005 2012 The share of non-farm employment in Himachal Pradesh is lower than in most states 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 Himachal Pradesh Jobs Job growth in Himachal Pradesh was positive but slow 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.
