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 social welfare office. The most recent information is for December 2008. The table contains the number of persons signing on in each social welfare office in County Cork on the last Friday in each month from January to December 2008. The table also contains the change in both numbers and percentages of persons signing on in each social welfare office in County Cork over the period December 2007 to December 2008.
