Bihar's unemployment rate on the rise, much higher than all-India average: CMIE

CMIE data shows that while the unemployment rate in the state averaged 46% during April and May, the peak months of the lockdown, the all-India unemployment rate in the same period was 24%. Though the unemployment rate in the state has since then come down to 12%, it is much higher than the all-India estimate of 6.7% at the same time.
