The advertisement was released on December 15
The advertisement published in several newspapers on December 15 has been issued by Haryana Skill Employment Corporation, a public sector company of the state. Haryana has the highest unemployment rate in the country, according to data from the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), and Israel faces a severe shortage of construction workers, with nearly 90,000 work permits being revoked. Israel has revoked the work permits of Palestinian workers because of the war with Hamas.
CMIE data released in January this year shows that Haryana has the highest unemployment rate in India at 37.4 percent, while the national unemployment rate is 8.3 percent.
