The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of

estimates of employment in the State.

The table below shows the breakdown of full-time and part-time employment.

Full-time and part-time employment breakdown

Data may be subject to future revision.;

Data may be subject to sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.;

Reference period: q2=Apr-Jun;

Source: Quarterly National Household Survey, Central Statistics Office.

The specific information regarding the full-time and part-time breakdown of net jobs created requested by the Deputy is not available from the QNHS as the survey is a measure of the stock level of employment only and does not measure jobs lost and created from which a net jobs figure could be derived.

In addition while the job churn statistical product provides some information on job creation, job destruction and net jobs created, the figures available are on an annual basis and cannot distinguish between the nature (full-time/part-time) or duration of the employment.
