The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the Industrial Development agencies. Data is compiled on an annualised basis and is aggregated at overall county level. Figures for 2009 will not be available until early next year.

The figures relating to net jobs existing in CEB-supported micro-enterprises are gathered in a CEB Job Survey each year. As figures are compiled on an annual basis, figures in respect of 2009 will not be available until early in 2010. Net jobs in CEB-supported companies in 2006, 2007 and 2008 are set out in the following table. In the three-year period, 2006 to 2008, a total of 1,257 IDA Ireland supported jobs were created in Waterford City and County and a total of 1,339 jobs were created by Enterprise Ireland client companies.

The Industrial Development agencies together with the CEBs are keenly focused on supporting Irish and overseas enterprise with the ultimate goal of growth and the creation of sustainable employment. Jobs Created in Waterford City & County
