India’s overall unemployment rate in August 2025 stood at 5.1%, reflecting an improvement in both urban and rural employment conditions. Male unemployment dropped to 5.0%, reaching a five month low, while rural unemployment fell significantly from 5.1% in May to 4.3% in August. A notable highlight was the rise in female labour force participation, which climbed from 32% in June to 33.7% in August. These numbers suggest that the economy was stabilizing with more job opportunities emerging across regions, marking a positive trend in employment and workforce engagement during that period.
