Vol. 495 No. 7
111 Mrs. Owen asked the Taoiseach the number of women unemployed in each county, both under 25 years and over 25 years, for the month of July 1997 and for the month of July 1998; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21898/98]
Definitive statistics on the level of unemployment are based on the quarterly national household survey, which replaced the labour force survey in September 1997. Unfortunately, results from these surveys are not available at county level.
The monthly live register figures include data on claimants of unemployment benefit, unemployment assistance and other registrants classified by local office of registration. However, the live register is not an accurate indicator of the level of unemployment. The following table shows the number of women on the live register in each county in July 1997 and July 1998.
