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 July to December 2008. The table also contains the change in the number of persons signing on in each social welfare office in County Cork over the period June to December 2008.
