Professional, scientific and technical activities, as well as industry sector, lead the way in growth
The number of people employed in the Republic has risen to a record high of 2.75 million as more immigrant workers and greater female participation meet the ongoing demand for labour in the economy.
Despite slowing global growth and increased geopolitical uncertainty, the Irish labour market continues to perform strongly. The number working in the information and communication sector, which includes some of the biggest names in tech, also increased by 11,500 or 6.5 per cent. The Central Statistics Office, which compiles the data, said changes in the labour force are typically influenced by shifts in the size of the working-age population, otherwise known as the demographic effect. In recent years this has been driven mainly by immigration, it noted.
