What the reporting says
A Mint report says white-collar hiring in September is becoming more selective, with employers favoring specialised AI skills and experienced professionals. The summary says readers should check where hiring stood for freshers and mid-career job seekers, but it does not provide the actual hiring figures in the supplied text. The broader labor backdrop includes a 4.219% unemployment rate in 2025, though the report itself does not connect that figure to the hiring shift.
Why it matters
The report says white-collar hiring has shifted toward specialised AI skills and experienced professionals in September. That suggests tighter screening for job seekers, especially freshers, but the summary does not provide the hiring data it references. The only official labor statistic provided is a 4.219% unemployment rate in 2025, yet the report does not state any direct link to that figure.
