The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Figures are published for each county and each local social welfare office. The most recent information is for October 2008.
The table contains the number of persons signing on in each local social welfare office in County Cork for each month in 2008. It should be noted that there is no local social welfare office in Mitchelstown.
