Part of it is true, but the way it was said gives a wrong picture.

    What is actually true

    3.3%

    Maharashtra unemployment rate, age 15+, PLFS 2023-24

    pib.gov.in

    The Ministry of Labour & Employment's Periodic Labour Force Survey data put Maharashtra's unemployment rate for persons aged 15 and above at 3.3% in 2023-24, down from 4.8% in 2017-18. The sources do not state an official count of 15–20 lakh unemployed youths for Maharashtra. Other reported figures include over 71 lakh youth registered as job-seekers with government employment offices in 2025 and 17.76 lakh applications for 17,471 police constable posts.

    • The Periodic Labour Force Survey reports Maharashtra's unemployment rate among persons aged 15 and above fell from 4.8% in 2017-18 to 3.3% in 2023-24. [2]
    • An unofficial data article says more than 71 lakh youth were registered as job-seekers with Maharashtra government employment offices in 2025. [6]
    • Maharashtra Police received 17.76 lakh applications for 17,471 constable posts, indicating a very large number of job applicants in the state. [8]

    The speaker's broad point about youth unemployment is consistent with evidence that large numbers of young people in Maharashtra are seeking work. But the specific figure of 15–20 lakh unemployed youths does not appear in official PLFS data, which report only unemployment rates for the state. The number may also understate the reported scale of youth job-seeking, since one data report gives over 71 lakh registered job-seekers.
