Ahead of elections, India's unemployment at record high

An Indian think tank claims that its survey shows that unemployment in India for the month of February was at 7.2% compared to 5.9% in the previous year.

In an election year, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under immense pressure over rising unemployment. In 2014, Mr. Modi had promised to create 10 million new jobs every year if he voted to power.
