occupational
distribution to coastal
Andhra with slightly
lower reporting in trade
and other occupations
(referred to as ‘Others’),
but higher reporting as
farmers. Rayalaseema
has a much larger share
reporting farming and
fewer percentages
reporting agricultural
labour which is due to
the inferior quality of land and relatively poorer communities also owning such
land for subsistence survival. As expected, Hyderabad is dominated by
professionals at 35% of the labour force followed by another 35% engaged in
trading and other activities (See Figure 2.32). Compared to other regions,
Hyderabad also employs craftsmen and those in elementary services such as
urban manual labour and semi-skilled service providers.

The NSSO data allows us to anlayse work status based on education levels. Of
the total workforce 15-65 years of age, only 9% are above matriculation in
Telangana, yet it is slightly more than in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.
Hyderabad workforce is the most literate as expected which is closer to one half
of all 15-65 years old. Share of illiterate workforce and women workers is almost
similar in all the three regions with a slightly lower level in coastal Andhra.
