Unemployment.
It’s going to stabilise.
The ESRI’s figures show that 316,000 people – 14.7 per cent of the labour force – were out of work in 2012.
The institute expects this to fall to 305,000 this year and to 298,000 in 2014, bringing the jobless rate down to just under 14 per cent from its current level of 14.7 per cent.
Finally.
Austerity is work…
The report’s authors, David Duffy and Kevin Timoney…predict 32,000 people will emigrate this year and a further 22,000 will leave in 2014.
Never mind.
Think of The Gathering we’ll have in 2023.
