“87% of the estimated workforce in the nine selected sectors are regular workers, only 2% are casual workers,” the ministry said, while 20% of workers in the construction sector were contractual workers and 6.4% were casual workers.
Yadav said the government had used it earlier Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS) to get employment sector data. However, while plfs Indicating only supply side information about the labor market, QES was now presenting a holistic picture of the employment situation, including the demand side.
“QES gives a consolidated view of employment from the demand side at regular intervals. This data will help the government in formulating evidence-based policy,” Yadav said. The second round showed regular workers making up 87% of the estimated workforce in the nine selected non-farm sectors, with only 2% in the casual workers category.

The survey also suggested that 98.3% of establishments were located outside homes, although 5.1% of units in the housing and restaurant sector – the highest of all sectors – were found to operate from within homes.
Importantly, the QES indicated that 90% of the establishments surveyed had fewer than 100 employees. About 30% of establishments in the IT/BPO sector had at least 100 employees. In the health sector, 19% of establishments had 100 or more employees. In the transport sector, 14% of establishments were operating with 100 or more workers.
The survey also revealed results about the educational qualifications of employees working in these nine sectors. While 91.6% of those employed in the IT/BPO sector were graduates or higher, nearly 60% had at least a bachelor’s degree in financial services. In seven out of nine sectors (excluding education and health), about 28% had a matriculation certificate or less. For example, in the health sector, 18% of non-clinical workers were matriculated or below.
