The following tables provide estimates of the labour force classified by nationality in Quarter 2 of each year (2004-2008) sourced from the CSO Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS). The figures are considered 'broadly indicative' as the large migration flows in recent years present a significant measurement challenge in a general purpose household survey such as the QNHS.
