The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming jobseekers Benefit, Jobseekers Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social Protection.
The table below shows the number of persons on the Live Register broken down by age, gender and county in December 2009, December 2008, December 2007, April 2007 and April 2002.
It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseekers Benefit or Allowance. It should also be noted that the Live Register includes only those aged 17 years and over.
