The Chandigarh-based Labour Bureau under the union ministry of labour and employment released the 'Employment and Unemployment Survey 2012' .India's official unemployment rate is 3.8%, with urban unemployment at 5.1% and rural at 3.5%. Unemployment is higher among women than among men; 6.7% for women as against 2.8% for men.
For urban India, graduate unemployment is 8.2% while unemployment among post-graduates is slightly lower, at 7.7%.
These findings are consistent with those of the National Sample Survey 2009-10 which show that the higher the level of education, the higher the open unemployment.
