2016 SAW AN increase in the number of jobs being advertised in Ireland.
In the final quarter of last year, there was an 11% increase in the number of jobs advertised online compared to the same period in 2015.
The figures, published today by IrishJobs.ie, show that all counties experienced an improvement in the number of jobs available, particularly Carlow, Dublin and Limerick.
Here’s how much the number of jobs advertised increased in certain sectors:
The Jobseeker Sentiment Survey, in which the website asked the views of 1,223 people, found that 67% of Irish employees felt very confident about the Irish jobs market.
Trump and Brexit
In terms of international affairs affecting jobs here, 49% of Irish employees said they don’t know what their employer’s Brexit plans are (17% are aware), while 66% of jobseekers said they’re not worried about Donald Trump’s election as US President impacting their current job situation.
Orla Moran, General Manager of IrishJobs.ie, said, despite the challenges of 2016, the figures “show a strong increase in jobs advertised online throughout the year, which has been matched by positive sentiment from jobseekers and optimism for the year ahead”.
We would, however, raise a concern about what appears to be a lack of preparation amongst employers for the UK’s triggering of Article 50 in March to start the Brexit process.
“In our survey Irish workers tell us they are unsure whether their employers have begun Brexit planning. Given that Ireland trades over 40% of its exports with the UK, it’s important Irish companies start to think about the potential implications of Brexit and plan accordingly,” Moran said.

“Given that Ireland trades over 40% of its exports with the UK, it’s important Irish companies start to think about the potential implications of Brexit and plan accordingly,”
No it doesn’t, only about 14% of our exports go to the UK. You can’t just selectively exclude the multinationals, who employ 200,000 in this country and spend billions every year on local goods and services. If you do that then you should also exclude from the UK’s figures foreign banks based in London and the likes of Nissan in Sunderland.
Nissan have done a deal with British government will be expanding production in Sunderland actually in next year
Its 36% based off the latest CSO figure
More good economic news, the alphabets and Provos won’t be happy, but the majority of normal people who want to work will be
Anybody who’s not working now doesn’t want to work. But there is a serious shortage of good men plenty of balloons who’ll promise the moon and the stars
@Colin Tinnelly: Agree, but where are the jobs in the country areas?
@andi black. They aren’t there lad I know there’s not alot outside the likes of dublin cork galway Waterford etc but that what I mean about wanting to work. If u want work and want money you’ll travel. You’ll put 2+ hours on to your day to travel. Dublin for example is flyin any amount of work. The work is there for everybody if they want it.
