Irish jobs boom takes a pause
 
 
  • The recent exceptional growth in the Irish jobs market paused in the final quarter of 2024.
  • At a sectoral level, the out-turn was broadly positive. Of the 14 sub-sectors, ten registered growth in the year to Q4 2024.
  • Unemployment remains low, ticking down to 4.2% in Q4 2024 from 4.3% in Q3, with timelier data signalling a further fall to 4% in January 2025.
  • While the near term outlook remains positive, the jobs market is set on a more moderate growth path from here.
