The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q3 2018.

Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable Waterford City estimates from the LFS. Estimates of the labour force (including unemployment) however, are produced by NUTS 3 Regions. The NUTS 3 South-East region includes counties Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford City and County and Wexford.

Table 1 shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over classified by gender and ILO Economic Status in the NUTS 3 South-East region in Q3 2018.

Table 2 shows the Labour Force participation rates of persons aged 15 years and over by gender and the unemployment rates of persons aged 15 to 74 years in the NUTS3 South-East region in Q3 2018.

Table 3 shows the average usual hours (where usual hours data is available) worked of persons aged 15 years and over in employment (ILO) classified by sex in the South-East NUTS3 Regions in Q3 2018.

*Estimates for numbers of persons or averages where there are less than 30 persons sampled in a cell are not produced as estimates are too small to be considered reliable.

Parentheses [ ] indicate where there are 30-49 persons sampled in a cell, estimates are considered to have a wider margin of error and should be treated with caution.

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: Q3=Jul-Sep.
