The COVID-19 pandemic and its disruption have created a recession in State’s economy, and steep fall in employment in secondary and tertiary sectors. The pandemic has resulted in increased unemployment rate in rural and urban areas, led to exodus of non resident Keralite workers from GCC countries, shut down the prospects of remigration, the prospects for fresh migration and caused income loss in road transport sector. One sector which performed well is the IT sector. Another impact of the pandemic was that it caused large loss of production and employment of MSMEs.
