Give high priority to job creation and entrepreneurship, with labour-intensive manufacturing and tourism

The verdict

Official job-survey data for 2017-18 (PLFS) put the usual-status unemployment rate at 6.1%, a multi-decade high; the government said the leaked report was not final. No official count showing large net job creation in the term was found. The manifesto sets no numeric jobs target.

Rule applied: Partially kept: under 25% of the target met → 3

“Job creation: high priority, apparently of the kind that waits in a queue.”
