​Report: ​Labour Market, Second Quarter 2015

This quarterly release analyses the labour market situation. Topics covered include unemployment, employment, redundancy, re-entry into employment, job vacancy, labour turnover and hours worked.

Key findings: Unemployment rose over the quarter amid softer economic conditions, but remained low and similar to a year ago. Vacancies declined, though they continued to outnumber job seekers as the labour market remained tight. After contracting in the first quarter, total employment grew, albeit at a slower pace than a year ago. There were fewer redundancies, while the rate of re-entry into employment declined.
