A 14% increase in the number of unemployed people since the beginning of the year.
Ardú 14 faoin gcéad ar an líon daoine dífhostaithe ó thús na bliana.
The number of people unemployed in the State increased by more than 14% in the first quarter of the year compared to the same quarter last year, according to new figures from the Central Statistics Office.
Tháinig ardú de bhreis agus 14 faoin gcéad ar an líon daoine a bhí dífhostaithe sa Stát sa chéad ráithe den bhliain i gcomparáid leis an ráithe chéanna anuraidh, de réir figiúirí nua ón bPríomh-Oifig Staidrimh.
141,800 people were unemployed in the first three months of 2026, an increase of 17,600 from last year, and brings the unemployment rate to 4.9%.
141,800 duine a bhí dífhostaithe sa chéad trí mhí de 2026, sin ardú de 17,600 ó anuraidh, agus fágann sé gur 4.9 faoin gcéad atá sa ráta dífhostaíochta.
More than any other sector, the information and communications sector saw the largest drop in employment – 20,300 fewer than last year, a drop of 10.7%.
Thar aon earnáil eile, ba san earnáil faisnéise agus cumarsáide bhí an titim ba mhó sa líon fostaithe – 20,300 níos lú ná anuraidh, ar titim de 10.7 faoin gcéad é sin.
80% of those people were programmers and consultants, according to the figures.
Ríomhchláraitheoirí agus comhairleoirí ab ea 80 faoin gcéad de na daoine sin, de réir na bhfigiúirí.
Conversely, the number of people employed also increased in the first quarter of the year.
Os a choinne sin, tháinig ardú chomh maith ar an líon daoine a bhí fostaithe sa chéad ráithe den bhliain.
It was a very small increase, 400 people, and it leaves 2,794,500 people employed in the State in the first three months of 2026.
Ardú an-bheag a bhí ann, 400 duine, agus fágann sé go raibh 2,794,500 duine fostaithe sa Stát sa chéad trí mhí de 2026.
Since it is such a small increase, statisticians do not include it as a percentage.
Ós ardú chomh beag sin é, más ea, ní áiríonn lucht staidrimh é go céatadánach.
