View answerThe Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey which provides quarterly statistics on employment and unemployment and is the official source of labour market estimates in the State. The classification of employment status in LFS results is determined according to ILO (International Labour Organisation) concepts and definitions.
The most recent LFS figures available are for Quarter 2 (Q2) 2022.
The quarterly LFS labour market estimates are produced by NUTS3 Region (NUTS3 is a geocode standard referencing the eight subdivisions of Ireland for statistical purposes). Due to the methodology and sample size of the survey it is not possible to produce reliable county estimates from the LFS.
The NUTS-2 region is a grouping of the NUTS-3 regions.
The table below shows the number of unemployed (ILO) persons aged 15 - 74 years classified by NUTS2 and NUTS3 regions and in the State for Q2 2022.

*Estimates for numbers of persons or averages where there are fewer than 30 people in a cell are not produced as estimates are too small to be considered reliable.
Parentheses [ ] indicate where there are 30-49 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 sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.
