The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q1 2015.
Table 1a below shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment by NACE Rev. 2 Economic Sector in Q1 of each year from 2011 to 2015. Table 1b below shows the annual change in the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment by NACE Rev. 2 Economic Sector in Q1 of the years 2012 to 2015 as well as the overall change from Q1 2011 to Q1 2015. Table 1c below shows the annual percentage change in the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment by NACE Rev. 2 Economic Sector in Q1 of the years 2012 to 2015 as well as the overall percentage change from Q1 2011 to Q1 2015. As Table 1a shows the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time, the annual changes and Q1 2011 to Q1 2015 changes which are calculated using these stock figures and shown in Tables 1b and 1c depend both on the number of jobs lost and jobs created over the period in question. The QNHS does not record whether a job is newly created.

* Estimates for numbers of persons or averages where there are less than 30 persons in a cell are not produced as estimates are too small to be considered reliable.
Parentheses [ ] indicate where there are 30-50 persons in a cell, estimates are considered to have a wider margin of error and should be treated with caution.
Data may be subject to future revision.
Data may be subject to sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.
