Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Enterprise Ireland’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs, Irish business and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland’s international trade, innovation, leadership and competitiveness. The ultimate objective is increased employment and prosperity in Ireland. The companies that Enterprise Ireland works with are a vital source of employment, both direct and indirect, in every county in Ireland. Over the course of the period 2002 to 2010 the net jobs created in each year was as follows:

	2002	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010
Total Net Change in Jobs	-4,044	-4,665	-1,394	-1,218	+1,489	+ 978	-7,608	-18,196	-3,726

Between 2011 and 2014 Enterprise Ireland client companies have added a net 17,280 extra jobs.

Since 2009, Enterprise Ireland has continued to work with its clients to focus on job retention through the economic crisis, and then on job creation. The net job figures have increased every year since 2011, with Enterprise Ireland recording a net job increase of 8,476 in 2014, the highest in the history of the Agency.

Employment data for Enterprise Ireland is collected annually as part of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Annual Employment Survey which measures the number of jobs in Agency assisted client companies, as permanent full-time jobs and “other jobs”. “Other jobs” refer to employees who are part-time, temporary, short-term contract and agency workers employed on a part-time or short-term basis or employed on contracts of less than nine months and exclude those based permanently in overseas Offices.
