One canonical read of the CSO’s labour-market series, served to the Sruth dashboard over REST and to Eric and Claude sessions over MCP. Everything here is measured — published by the Central Statistics Office and stored as published. Nothing on this page is modelled, interpolated or seasonally adjusted by Saothar.
Seasonally adjusted monthly rate, last five years. Source: CSO, seasonally adjusted at source.
Quarterly LFS employment, indexed to the first quarter shown = 100, so two very different levels share one axis.
Seasonally adjusted monthly rates. The shaded band is the spread in percentage points.
Latest published quarter, thousands of persons, with the year-on-year move. Aggregate rows (“Services”, “Industry and Construction”) are excluded from the sum; only the non-overlapping sectors are added up.
