As part of the Forfás Annual Employment Survey, the overall cost per job is calculated each year by reference to the cost of jobs created in companies supported by the Enterprise Development agencies, during and sustained to the end of a seven-year period. The accepted accounting measure for cost per job is ‘Cost per job sustained’. This is calculated by taking into account all direct agency expenditure on all agency client companies in a seven-year period. Only jobs created during, and sustained at the end of each seven-year period, are represented in the calculations. The cost per job calculation takes the total grants paid to companies to undertake development projects, at both start-up and expansion stages, and the new jobs that arise from these projects. Forfás does not calculate the ‘Cost per job Sustained’ on a county basis.
The accompanying table provides information on Enterprise Ireland’s Cost per Job Sustained from 2007-2011. The figure for 2012 will not be available until 2013.
