The report highlights Jaipur, Vadodara, Indore, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Bhopal, Surat, Mohali, Kochi, and Coimbatore as emerging job hotspots in the last six months.
Between 2023 and 2024, Tier 2/3 cities saw a 25-35% average increase in hiring, mainly in retail, consumer goods, banking & financial services, energy & utilities, pharma & healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, according to data.
The transformation of smaller cities into job hubs is primarily driven by
Remote work:
Remote work, boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic, allows companies to hire from anywhere, letting people work for major city firms while living in smaller, affordable communities.
Infrastructure Development :
Better infrastructure—like transportation, digital connectivity, and essential services—makes it easier for businesses to operate in smaller cities.
Talent Pool Expansion :
As people move from costly, congested cities, smaller cities draw a larger, skilled workforce, attracting companies in tech, healthcare, and education.
Educational Institutes :
Good educational institutes boost development and attract students and professionals by providing quality education and training, which supports employment.
Favorable Government Policies:
Many who returned to their villages during the pandemic haven’t gone back to urban jobs due to support from government programs like free food, PM Kisan Yojana, rural employment guarantee schemes, free or subsidized electricity, tap water, and cooking gas.
Quality Of Life :
These cities provide a better quality of life with less traffic, lower crime rates, and greater access to nature, making them appealing to those moving from larger urban areas.
Diverse Opportunities :
These cities offer diverse job opportunities across healthcare, education, and government.
Lower cost of living :
Smaller cities, with their lower living costs, attract professionals who want to save money while growing their careers.
So, these factors help the transformation of small cities into job hubs.
