The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey which provides quarterly statistics on employment and unemployment and is the official source of labour market estimates in the State.
The quarterly LFS estimates of employment are produced by NUTS-3 Regions (NUTS-3 is a geocode standard referencing the eight subdivisions of Ireland for statistical purposes ); due to the methodology and sample size of the survey it is not possible to produce reliable county estimates from the LFS. The most recent figures available from the LFS are for the first quarter (Q1) of 2019.
The concept of underemployment used by the Central Statistics Office occurs when a person in employment is willing and able to work more hours than they currently do. Thus, a person is underemployed if they are in employment and if they both want to work more hours than they currently do and are available to work more hours than they currently do.
Table 1 below provides a breakdown of the detailed International Labour Organisation (ILO) status (full-time/part-time status and underemployment status) of the number of persons in employment by NUTS-3 Region.
In Q1 2019 there were 2,301,900 persons in employment in the State and of those 172,300 were full-time underemployed and 106,900 were part-time underemployed giving a total of 279,100 persons who were underemployed in the State.

*Estimates for numbers of persons or averages where there are less than 30 persons in a cell are not produced as estimates are too small to be considered reliable.
Parentheses [ ] indicate where there are 30-49 persons in a cell, estimates are considered to have a wider margin of error and should be treated with caution.
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.
