Answer:

 

Workers in different sectors (in millions)
Sector	Organised	Unorganised	Total
Primary	2	240	242
Secondary	9	54	63
Tertiary	17	76	63
Total	28	370	398

(a) Primary sector and especially the unorganised sector is providing most jobs to the people.

(b) 370 millions.

(c) Employment opportunities in the organised sector have been expanding very slowly. Therefore a large number of workers are forced to enter the unorganised sector jobs, which pay a very low salary.

(d) Tertiary sector is the most important organised sector. Because as income levels rise, certain sections of people start demanding more services like tourism, shopping, private schools, etc. Production in tertiary sector is rising day by day.
