The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of unemployment in the State.

The table shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over classified by gender and duration of unemployment (ILO) and the long-term unemployment rate in each quarter from Quarter 1 2013 to Quarter 1 2014.

Long-term unemployment is defined as the number of persons unemployed for 1 year and over.

Data may be subject to future revision.

Data may be subject to sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.

* Estimates are too small to be considered reliable.

Parentheses [ ] indicate where estimates are considered to have a wider margin of error and should be treated with caution.
