The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q2 2015.

Table 1 below shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment (ILO) classified by full-time and part-time status in Q2 of each year from 2012 to 2015 along with the three year change over this period.

Table 2 below shows the number of employees (ILO) aged 15 years and over classified by full-time and part-time status and permanency of job in Q2 of each year from 2012 to 2015 along with the three year change over this period.

As both Tables 1 and 2 show the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time, the changes which are calculated using these stock figures depend both on the number of jobs lost and jobs created over the period in question. The QNHS does not record whether a job is newly created.

The latest breakdown of persons engaged in Irish-owned and foreign-owned enterprises available from the Central Statistics Office is for the year 2012. The figures, which are published in Table 8.2 of the CSO’s annual Business in Ireland report, show the numbers of persons engaged in the private business economy, i.e. in private sector businesses in the Industry, Construction, and Services sectors (NACE Rev 2 codes B to N, excluding code 64.20 “Activities of Holding Companies”). These figures represent the number of persons engaged in the relevant year, as distinct from the number of jobs created over the course of the year. The following two tables contain the figures for the years 2012 and 2011 respectively.
