Report: ​Redundancy And Re-entry Into Employment, 2013

Amid economic restructuring, slightly more workers were laid off in 2013 than in 2012. Against a larger pool of employees, the incidence of redundancy remained low. Overall, the labour market was tight, with unemployment remaining low in 2013. While the overall rate of re-entry into employment declined slightly, there was improvement in the last three quarters of the year.

This annual report goes beyond the quarterly reporting in the Labour Market Reports to provide additional analysis on the incidence of redundancy, reasons for redundancy, profile of establishments with redundancy, time taken to secure re-entry into employment and the shift in industry among those who re-entered employment.
