Unemployment issues

In the article, Unemployment: Seven Sins of Perception (Business Line, November 1), Prof P. V. Indiresan points out that job-seekers should be directed more towards the services sector. It is true that the three giants in the IT Sector — TCS, Infosys and Wipro — alone account for nearly a lakh jobs. But these jobs are for the highly skilled and not for the vast army of under-educated masses.

As rightly pointed out by Prof Marvin Minsky, the under-educated unemployed should find jobs `to fit them the way they are'. This is possible only in construction and other infrastructure development sectors and, perhaps, agriculture.

V. Mahadevan
