This bulletin is the eighth in an annual series of reports produced by the Skills and Labour Market Research Unit (SLMRU) in FAS on behalf of the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN). The bulletin provides a detailed overview of the Irish labour market at occupational level, based on the information compiled and maintained in the National Skills Database. Over the period 2010-2011, the main labour market indicators pointed towards further deterioration - although at a slower rate when compared to the situation a year ago. The number of persons in employment contracted, unemployment increased, and long term unemployment persisted at an elevated level. Despite the economic downturn, the findings highlight areas where some employment opportunities as well as skills shortages have continued to exist. The findings are particularly relevant in the context of high unemployment as they serve as a guide to school leavers, jobs seekers, and career guidance professionals in deciding on education and training choices. The Bulletin is also useful for policy makers in relation to anticipating and addressing any mismatch between skills demand and supply in Ireland’s labour market.
