"India is on the brink of a major transformation owing to several economic reforms and digital disruption over the last few months. The Monster Employment Index for June has captured this sentiment reporting 11 per cent year-on-year growth.

The implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST) was a progressive step and was likely to have an encouraging impact on the job market nudging the overall growth, he said.
City-wise data shows that among metros, Kolkata (up 40 percent) continued to lead the long-term growth even in June 2017. Mumbai (up 15 percent) was the only city to exhibit double-digit annual growth, Hyderabad at 5 per cent, Bangalore was up by 3 percent, while annual growth trend in Chennai (down 12 percent) exhibited the steepest decline.
