Unemployment is chronic and widespread in Bihar, a state which has been plagued for decades by this great social evil, because of which a large number of Biharis migrate to other states seeking jobs.

Biharis flee to other states primarily for livelihood due to lack of economic growth and consequent lack of job opportunities in Bihar. This migration is driven by poverty and a desire for a livelihood. Migrants often take up low-paying, labor-intensive jobs in sectors like construction, manufacturing, and domestic work, and security in major urban centers, or work as street vendors or small shopkeepers ( selling paan, chaat, etc ).

Common destinations and jobs are cities and states in India, such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Tamil Nadu, which attract a large number of migrant workers from Bihar.
In the coming Bihar state assembly election ( voting on 6th and 11th, and results on 14th November ) both major alliances, the Mahagathbandhan and the NDA, have released their manifestos making tall promises to end or significantly reduce unemployment in the state if they come to power

While the main promise ( of the 25 promises in the Mahagathbandhan Manifesto ) is to provide a government job to one member of every family in Bihar, the NDA Manifesto’s main promise is to create one crore ( 10 million ) jobs in Bihar.
But neither Manifesto mentions where the huge amount of money required for these grandiose schemes will come from.
Moreover, jobs cannot be created artificially like this, otherwise the government may as well give every unemployed Bihari Rs 10,000 per month for sweeping streets in cities and rural paths in Bihar. That will only be doles for which the taxpayer, who is already overburdened by taxes of various kinds and suffering by the huge rise in prices, takes on an additional unbearable burden.
