agriculture is the most labour absorbing sector of the economy. in recent years, there has been a decline in the dependence of population on agriculture partly because of disguised unemployment. some of the surplus labour in agriculture has moved to either to the secondary or tertiary sector. in the secondary sector, small scale manufacturing is the most labour absorbing. in case of tertiary sector, various new services are now appearing like biotechnology, information technology and so on.
