15.06.202610:42:50UTC+00India Unemployment Rate Rises More than Expected

India’s unemployment rate climbed to 5.5% in May 2026 from 5.2% in April, marking the highest level in nearly a year and exceeding market expectations of 5.3%. This weakening in labor market conditions coincided with mounting macroeconomic headwinds in recent weeks.

A sharp rise in energy prices, driven by the suspension of commercial vessel traffic in the Persian Gulf, put additional pressure on the rupee and eroded the purchasing power of both households and businesses.

In rural areas, the unemployment rate rose to a one-year high of 5.1%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous month. By contrast, the urban unemployment rate eased to 6.4% from 6.6% in April, reaching its lowest level in more than a year. Overall, the national unemployment rate was unchanged compared with the same period a year earlier.
