Movement for in-between years are interpolated with the average growth rate over 5 years. 1987-2007 are derived from the principal status definition of workforce from the household survey, National Sample and Survey Organization (NSSO), Government of India, to calculate the work force participation rate. These are then used in conjunction with the Central Statistical organization (CSO) estimates of population based on the census to obtain total employment. The employment growth estimates for 2005-2009 are calculated on the basis of the average annual growth rate of employment between 1999-00 and 2004-2005.
