View answerThe Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social Protection. Figures are published for each county and local social welfare office. The local office for Ferrybank is Waterford City.
The most recent Live Register figures available are for March 2015. There were 9,551 people signing on in Waterford City, on the last Friday of March 2015. The table contains the numbers signing on in Waterford City, on the last Friday of each January from 2011 to 2015. It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance.
