The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q2 2015.
Table 1 below shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment (ILO) classified by full-time and part-time status in Q2 of each year from 2012 to 2015 along with the three year change over this period.
Table 2 below shows the number of employees (ILO) aged 15 years and over classified by full-time and part-time status and permanency of job in Q2 of each year from 2012 to 2015 along with the three year change over this period.
As both Tables 1 and 2 show the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time, the changes which are calculated using these stock figures 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.
