Abstract
COVID-19 has struck human lives in a two-pronged way – through one prong, it has infected people and taken the lives away, through the other prong it has pushed mankind to run into severe unemployment leading to unconditional misery. India’s sufferings, like all other countries, have rose to unprecedented levels during the COVID times throttled by both the prongs. This study is an insight into the unemployment levels which India has experienced during COVID times vis-s-vis the pre-COVID times. The paper has depicted the dismal picture of sky-rocketing unemployment rates and educated unemployment rates in Covid times in overall India. A comparison with reasoning has been given to the situation in the two states of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu with diagrams and Sopher’s Index. Data is not yet found for the second wave of Covid which struck in April 2021. This would have added to the dismal picture.
