I have been informed by the relevant agencies that, in 2010, the total number of new jobs created by them in the Mid-West region, including the Shannon Free Zone, was 2,086 while the number of jobs lost in the same period was 2,878. The cost per job sustained, which is the key metric by which job costs are measured varies from agency to agency reflecting the different nature and quality mix in any given period. In 2010 this ranged from €6,209 to €14,287. The number of jobs created and lost, together with the cost per job sustained in respect of each of the agencies mentioned by the Deputy, is set out in the following tabular statement.
