The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment (ILO) in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q4 2016.
Seasonally adjusted estimates of employment are produced at State level only. Changes in the seasonally adjusted QNHS employment series can be calculated on a quarterly basis as required, please see Table 1.
Estimates of employment (unadjusted) are produced by NUTS 3 Regions. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable County estimates from the QNHS. Changes in the unadjusted QNHS employment series are available on an annual basis only, please see Table 2.
Tables 1 and 2 show the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time, the changes which are calculated using these stock figures depend both on the number of jobs lost and jobs created over the period in question. The QNHS does not record whether a job is newly created.
