Fresh restrictions imposed in different parts of the country due to the second Covid-19 wave could lead to job losses, similar to what was witnessed

Fresh restrictions imposed in different parts of the country due to the&nbsp;second&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;wave&nbsp;could lead to job losses, similar to what was witnessed in 2020.
Data released by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, suggests&nbsp;that unemployment has again started rising in the country. The unemployment rate touched 8.6% for the week ending April 11, from just 6.7% two weeks ago, according to fresh data released by CMIE.
With&nbsp;migrant labourers returning to their native places, the impact seems to be more severe in urban areas where the unemployment rate is now reaching 10%.
Economists fear that the rising cases could severely impact businesses and will lead to a sharp rise in job losses. The overall impact could significantly delay India&rsquo;s economic recovery.
