Mumbai, Mar 7: The hospitality, health and education sectors are likely to replace the IT/ITeS sector as leading job creators in the country, which will have over 10 lakh new work opportunities in 2008, a survey revealed on Thursday.

India will add 10,25,800 jobs, a tad lower than 10,30,000 jobs in 2007, predicted the Ma Foi Employment Survey 2008 released here.

"The traditional job creating horses like IT and ITeS sectors have been replaced by hospitality, health and education sector," Ma Foi Management Consultants managing director K Pandia Rajan said while releasing the survey.

Ma Foi is the largest human resource service provider and staffing company in India. It has been conducting the employment survey since 2004.
