Employment and wages are severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, both in India and worldwide. Due to this, economic activity was significantly affected, which also raised the unemployment rate. This paper reviews the Impact of Covid-19 on rising unemployment. The study employed factor analysis to test the proposed framework. This research additionally recognized that due to increased unemployment during COVID-19, the comprehensive Indian economic system has deteriorated. Furthermore, now there is a need for the Government to do everything it can to stop this unemployment/job crisis from becoming a social problem.
