Uttarakhand Jobs Large numbers of Uttarakhand’s people are shifting away from farm jobs to other kinds of work. As a result, today, the share of those engaged in non-farm work in Uttarakhand is similar to the national average. However, the overall job growth in the state has been negative since 2005. Moreover, the share of workers with salaried jobs remains quite low. The non-farm sectors of Uttarakhand’s economy are not creating enough jobs to absorb the growing size of its population that is not in school. This is especially so for the state’s women, who’s participation in the labor force has been declining since 1994.
