Strong growth was witnessed in e-recruitment activities in IT, shipping and telecom/ISP industries.
Overall job postings in August grew by 14% year-on-year (YoY), while industries such as garments, textiles, leather, gems & jewellery grew 24% between July and August this year with festive season pushing up demand for seasonal hiring, said a Monster Employment Index released on Monday.
Most of these hiring activities were reported from Bengaluru (59%), Hyderabad (34%), Pune (40%), Chennai (37%), Delhi-NCR (14%), and Mumbai (16%) and were largely driven by technology, software and hardware sectors.
An August 2020 to August 2021 comparison indicated strong growth in e-recruitment activities in IT– hardware, software (39%), shipping/marine (37%), and telecom/ISP (36%) industries. The trend was also visible across banking, financial services, insurance (33%), production and manufacturing (20%), and retail (11%) sectors, as per Monster index.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
