About 17 lakh jobs are in small industries in Rajasthan. In the second wave, when the demand decreased due to the closure of the market, the industries were closed. Jobs also gone. About 8 lakh people are in the automobile sector in Haryana. Industries are not running at full speed due to low demand. As a result, the unemployment rate has increased.
