The organized sector in India created 704,800 jobs between January 2011 and June 2011 and 369,200 more jobs are expected to be created by September 2011, according to the latest findings of Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey – Wave2. The survey was conducted among 690 companies across 13 industry segments panning 8 Indian cities. The respondents included members of senior management and HR professionals who were questioned on specific areas relating to hiring plans across various timelines, manpower requirements for the current quarter vis-à-vis the last two quarters, and their views on how they see the job market to be in the year 2011. While the Indian economy is passing through a delicate phase with certain sectors looking at a bleak market in the near future, there are others who have performed well and continue to perform as per predictions made in the beginning of the year, thus reflecting buoyancy among employers. According to the survey, the Healthcare sector has remained the largest employment generator with 1, 15,000 jobs created in H1, followed by the Hospitality sector with 94,000 jobs created during the same period. The IT/ITeS sector, which witnessed a turnaround in 2010-11 by posting a double digit growth, continues to grow at the same pace and has added 91,000 jobs in H1. In the cities, New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai continue to lead the job market job generating 1,39,700 jobs between January and June 2011, as predicted earlier this year

The Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey (MEtS), conducted by Ma Foi Randstad, India’s No. 1 Integrated HR services company, is a
study on the Indian employment trends and opportunities. Started in November 2004, MEtS was conducted once a year, till 2008.
Considering the several dynamic shifts in employment, even within a year’s time, MEtS was therefore converted to a quarterly survey from
2010, to capture the changes in employment scenario in India from one quarter to another
The prime objective of this employment survey is to understand the employment trends in the organized sector on a quarterly basis. The
present survey captures the employment situation in the organized sector for the first two quarters of 2011, i.e., from January to June 2011
and the likely scenario for the third quarter of the year, i.e., from July to September 2011. The study is based on a sample survey conducted
for about 690 companies across different sectors of the economy mainly during the month of June 2011. The feedback was gathered from
the top HR personnel or top management of the companies who could share valuable insights regarding the current and as well as next
quarter scenario about employment related issues. The major focus of the survey is to estimate the changes in employment scenario across
sectors and space. The other issues highlighted in the survey are changes in salary for the lateral hiring, recruitments by experience
categories and hiring by different functional roles.
The report is presented in four sections. The first section (Section A) discusses the recent trends and an overall view of the Indian Economy.
This section is followed by Section B that provides insights about the data and methodological aspects of the study. Section C presents a
picture of the changing pattern of the employment for different sectors of the economy. A snapshot of the changing scenario for selected
cities is also given in this section. The final section (Section D) concludes the study highlighting key issues.

4. data sources
The study has used both primary and secondary data to arrive at different estimates. Secondary data from various
sources have been used for this study. Historical data on the manufacturing sector has been culled out from various
surveys of the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) and publications of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO). Apart
from these sources, the other data sources used for the study are several surveys of the National Sample Survey
Organization (NSSO), Labour Statistics of India and Statistical outline of India.
The above sources have the advantage of almost universal coverage of the organized sector within their specific
domains. However, data from most of these secondary sources are not up-to-date. Therefore the estimation
procedure is used to address this problem, by using up-to-date figures on sectoral GDP and IIP.
Once estimates of base sector level employment were obtained, the data captured through primary survey of about
692 firms across sectors were used to arrive at estimates on different parameters. Rigorous estimation procedures
were used, along with the primary survey data of the companies, to estimate parameters for the first two quarters
of the year 2011 and expectations regarding the third quarter of 2011.

5. The sentiment is marginally dampened for a few sectors in
estimates of the last few months. However, the overall employment
scenario is not affected much adversely due to this. The
employment optimism that was prevalent at the beginning of the year
2010 has now weakened marginally. Continuing inflation,
surging prices of raw materials and intermediate industrial
generation in products, several political bumps remain as a cause of
concern for entrepreneurs. The intra-sectoral movement of
skilled workforce continued. The change in employment
