According to government payroll data collected through its retirement fund manager, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), about 401,949 people joined the formal workforce in March, nearly half of 745,655 additions in February.

The numbers were 833,417 for January, 876,228 for December and 987,668 for November. The data also indicates how formal sector job creation could worsen in April and May, with the lockdown enforced fully.
