Haha you say jobs as if these were organized jobs . By the author ' s own admission most of these jobs were daily wage earners . They , however , added that this estimate is based primarily on anecdotal evidence and that a clearer picture will emerge in the weeks to come . Anyway , it sounds like the number is based on nothing but gas . Most of the claims in the article are entirely unsubstantiated . Half of the statistics in the article don ' t even mean anything . For instance , considerRoughly a fifth of the almost 32 million people employed in the textile and garment sector who are paid wages either daily or weekly are hit . What does hit even mean ? Similarly , 2025 % of the roughly 2 . 5 lakh workers in the leather industry have been adversely affected as they are daily wage workers . In the jewellery sector , 1520 % of workers , who are paid daily , have been affected . Again what does this even mean ? Affectedadversely affected in what way ? Complete nonsense .
