Unemployment figures are released by the Central Statistics Office in their publication "Quarterly National Household Survey". This data is published on a regional and a national level only. I have included a table which shows the unemployment rate both in the South East region, which includes Tipperary south, and on a national level from 2006 to 2010. I have also included a table showing the live register in Tipperary south from 2006 to 2010. Further information on both the Quarterly National Household Survey and the Live Register can be obtained at www.cso.ie
