The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the Industrial Development agencies. Data is compiled on an annualized basis and is aggregated at overall county level. Figures for Waterford City and County are outlined in the attached table. The figures relating to net jobs existing in CEB-supported micro-enterprises are compiled in a CEB Job Survey each year. Relevant data for each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 in respect of County Waterford and Waterford City is attached in tabular format below. As figures are compiled on an annual basis, figures in respect of 2009 will not be available until early in 2010.
