A National Sample Survey Office report which was leaked proves that unemployment was at the highest in 45 years at 6.1 per cent. Congress President Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Narendra Modi and wrote 'NoMo jobs'. He wrote that Narendra Modi had promised us for 2 crore jobs a year and five years later, his report card reveals a national disaster.
Congress also made a video about the absurd statements made by BJP leaders about job creation.

The report states that post demonetisation, the employment rate was at an all-time low.
