India’s blue collar job market showed a robust 73% growth in vacancies in Jan-Mar of last fiscal (FY22) compared to the previous quarter, according to data from Qjobs, a part of Quess Corp.
There were over 2 million blue and grey collar job vacancies registered on the Qjobs platform in the fourth quarter reflecting an improved market sentiment driven by increased consumer buying and revival of business activities that led to an increase in demand for manpower in many sectors.
Retail and banking and financial services (BFSI) sectors saw a sharp rebound in business across the country. The data shows most Tier-II and III cities recording a continuous recovery in hiring across sectors. Top sectors included BPO/customer care, delivery, data entry/back office, field sales, and retail/counter sales categories.
Delhi (15%) and Bengaluru (14%) house the largest share of jobs with 29% of overall job vacancies on Qjobs. Mumbai (13%), Hyderabad (8%), and Pune (7%) followed by Delhi and Bengaluru are the top five cities in India for blue and grey collar jobs.
“It is encouraging to see demand up in metro cities indicating that the shadow of pandemic is behind us,” said Sekhar Garisa, President – Emerging Businesses & Chief Strategy Officer, Quess Corp.
