High manpower cost and capacity constraints in metros is prompting the corporates towards small cities for job creation, according to Trends of Job Openings, a study conducted by business chamber Assocham. The study, which surveyed 60 cities, revealed that tier II and tier III cities have cornered 28 per cent and 38 per cent share of the job respectively during first three months of this calendar year.
The study was based on a sample of 32,000 vacancies posted by around 3,500 companies in the national and regional dailies, journals and job portals during the three months between January-March 2008. It showed that metropolitans continue to remain as the maximum employment-generating cities for the job seekers.
Among the tier II cities, Pune emerged as the preferred employment provider with 16.50 per cent share, followed by Lucknow and Pondicherry. The top three employment providing tier III cities were Ranchi (13.80 per cent), Mangalore (11.60 per cent) and Mysore (11.08 per cent).
Mumbai topped the chart with 18.52 per cent share as the most prominent employment destination. It was followed by NCR (15.41 per cent), Delhi (11.55 per cent) and Bangalore (10.00 per cent) respectively.
Pune ranked fifth among the top ten employment providing cities in India, above the metro cities of Chennai (sixth rank) and Hyderabad (seventh rank). Kolkata was at the ninth rank, behind Lucknow a tier II city.
