India's blue and grey-collar job markets recorded their strongest growth in February in over a year, as a falling number of Covid-19 infections, lifting of restrictions and a pickup in economic activity led to higher demand for manpower, reports The Economic Times, citing research from QJobs, an online talent platform that is part of Quess Corp. The research showed February clocked more than 1 million active blue-collar job openings. These included 800,000 new jobs, the highest number of fresh vacancies posted in a month in more than a year. Sekhar Garisa, chief of emerging business and corporate development at Quess Corp, said, “Across the board, almost every organisation is going for expansion. Companies that had deferred their expansion plan have revived them. Offices are opening up and across sectors services are restarting. This coupled with rising attrition is leading to a surge in demand.” The top categories which are seeing the highest demand are delivery and driver, data entry/back office, BPO/customer care, field sales, business development and retail/counter sales.
