 The
Great Jobs Drought
It isn’t on, but will
soon be. Over the next few years, the 150 million people the country added
to its population in the 10 years between ’75 and ’85, enter the
workforce after gaining some sort of education. But there may be few jobs
going. The agriculture sector is in a mess. Small industries are either
dead or dying. And companies are loath to add to their workforce given the
country’s archaic labour laws. Even if the economy marches on at its
steady 6+ per cent rate of growth, the ranks of the unemployed will
increase by at least 70 million in the coming decade. SEVENTY MILLION….
Welcome to the decade of jobless growth.

one of the 10 is a pure play software services company. Some are chip
design companies; others are product companies; and still others are
