The seasonally adjusted figure for June was an increase of 5,800.
In the Dáil, Taoiseach Brian Cowen said the only way to create more jobs is to be more competitive.
Mr Cowen said the figures increased every June due to seasonal factors.
He said the increase this year was considerably less than the increase of more than 21,000 last year.
Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore said there has never been more people unemployed in the State and that 300,000 more people are signing on since the 2007 General Election.

I actually heard an economist of tv the other day saying increasing employment isn't a way of improving the economy.

But thats not what this thread is about really I just want thanks. Theres not a lot of thanking going on either. Maybe I should go home and thank myself.

I don't know why they're saying the recession is over, it clearly isn't. All they're basing it on is the fact that GDP has risen, which doesn't mean a whole lot by itself. I hate this shíte of technically something has not continued to decrease so we must be doing well. All it is is a shíttin bit of breathing space for two seconds. They seem to want to ignore the state that the country is in, in reality. Fianna Fail will quote this shíte now to talk up their supposed success in dealing with the crisis...

The same economists that told us we would have a soft landing from property bubble still spouting their sh!te.

Fcuk sake, stopped listening to them along time ago. :mad:

The way I see it is that if you want to make a living in this country, your going to have to get very creative with what you do, the traditional way of educating in order to get a respectable job yourself no longer hacks it. Not saying to ignore that route just we need to rethink a lot of things.

Thatcher didn't say that. Norman Tebbit said that his father, in 1930s Britain, "got on his bike and looked for work, and kept looking `till he found it."

It was a hopelessly inadequate message to give to Britain's unemployed at the time. There were just not enough jobs.

Be flexible and make things happen for yourself and dont expect the goverment to do much for you.

Can't argue with that.

We're still in recession, these CSO figures are based on how multinational companies are doing which is a false reading - MNC's profits are going out of the country, the Government is just taxing the people who work for these companies in Ireland. We are still very much ****ed.

Probably down because nobody is on building sites these days.

GDP is only up marginally, thanks to the foreign companies that haven't gone bust. Our GNP is still going down faster than a Thai prostitute. With the announcement that unemployment is at 450,000 they can say what the like about being out of recession, people are still going on dole queues.
Personally, I feel like smoking some spice, shooting some stags and breeding some great danes.;)

Maybe he should start by looking at the man in the mirror, and reduce his own wage to the average industrial, rather than having his compensation rivalling the presidents of tens or hundreds of millions of people. It would do our Brian no harm to try to get by on €30k a year and consider himself lucky to have it.

He should do what Lee Iacocca former President of Chrysler did in the 1980's when the company was on the verge of collapse. Iacocca took a pay cut down to $1 a year until the company was out of trouble.

Lol..You should go onto Politics.ie and read some of the sheer lunacy that the FF Dittoheads are posting. They believe, or seem to, that The Soldiers of Bankruptcy are actually steering us through the crisis!
