The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the official source of data for the jobless household indicator. The latest LFS annual data available for Ireland is for the year 2018.
The jobless households indicator is compiled by calculating the proportion of all persons aged 0 - 59 years who are living in jobless households.
Estimates for the jobless household indicator are produced by NUTS 3 Regions and are not available on a county basis.
Table 1 below shows the proportion of persons aged 0-59 years in jobless households in 2018 for Ireland and the latest corresponding EU 28 data for 2018.
Table 2 below shows the proportion of all persons aged 0-59 years living in jobless households classified by NUTS3 region in 2018.
