About This Data
The district-wise work seeker data in Kerala shows clear regional and gender differences in employment demand. Thiruvananthapuram records the highest number of work seekers (377,846), followed by Kollam (263,319) and Kozhikode (233,036), while districts such as Wayanad (60,794), Kasaragod (62,894), and Idukki (72,118) report comparatively lower numbers. Most districts including Ernakulam, Thrissur, Malappuram, Palakkad, Alappuzha, and Kannur show moderate levels of work seekers. A notable trend is that women outnumber men among registered work seekers in almost all districts, indicating higher female participation in job search. Additionally, the number of general work seekers is much higher than professional work seekers across districts, suggesting the need for greater skill development and professional training opportunities in the state.
