    Just got an email from Irish Jobs on their quarterly jobs report. It might be useful to anyone thinking of re-training and who are researching which industries are in growth at the moment.
    Dear Client,

    As Ireland's number one recruitment website we have unparalleled access to trends in the Irish job market. The IrishJobs.ie Jobs Index measures jobs advertised online across the main recruitment websites in the country and we are delighted to share our latest report with you.

    The IrishJobs.ie Jobs Index for the second quarter 2011 reveals that the jobs market is experiencing sustained growth across key sectors with new job vacancies increasing steadily. This continues the trend at the close of 2010 into the first and second quarters of this year.

    The IrishJobs.ie report, based on company advertisements from April to June 2011, shows clear year on year increases in the following areas: Management (+30%); Hotel and Catering (+26%); and IT (+45%). Other findings include;

    Hotel and Catering sector resurgent in Q2 2011 compared with Q2 2010 (+26%)
    Decreases in Construction, Architecture and Property (-29%)
    80 per cent of corporate jobs posted to IrishJobs.ie are new jobs rather than replacement jobs
    The author of the IrishJobs.ie Jobs Index is economist Dr Stephen Kinsella of the Kemmy Business school at the University of Limerick.

    You can read his full report here.

    All the best,


    The team at IrishJobs.ie


    The data is based on adverts placed on Irishjobs.ie and can be skewed by a number of factors. One would be three or four recruitment agencies advertising the same position. Still makes for interesting reading though.
