Unemployment numbers are continuing to fall, with 10.8 per cent less people signing on the live register in February compared to the same time last year.
Figures released by the Central Statistics Office show that 42,945 less people signed on the live register in February 2015 compared to the same month 12 months earlier.
There was a monthly drop of 4,300 claimants from January 2015, bring the total number of people currently on the live register to 355,600.
There was 27,720 new registrants last month, of which 53.3% was male and 46.7% was female.
There were annual decreases in all regions, with the largest occurring in the mid-west (-13%), followed by Dublin (-11.5%) and the south-west (-10.9%)
Down from a high of 15.1% :eek: in Jan 2012 - a staggering drop for any developed country in such a short time with the crisis we were in. While I disagree with many policies this government has implemented its hard to argue past the actual numbers in employment - for that they really should be given credit.
I came out of college in 2012, no jobs absolutely anywhere - straight on to the dole but managed to pick something up with job bridge... almost all my buddies from college are gone but they all want to come home eventually - next job is bringing them home and using their qualifications to re-build the country.
Highest economic growth rate in Europe, steadily falling unemployment, shít hot at rugby .. the country is well on its way back
