Buoyant ‘05 start to jobs market
The bank said its Job Index research had found that 40,000 jobs were advertised in the national press in the first two months of the year and that job advertising in February was 1% ahead of the same month last year.
Bank of Ireland Business Banking director Cathal Muckian said: “based on the findings of the Job Index over the first two months of the year we can expect to see significant business activity throughout 2005. The findings of the job index are consistent with other indicators suggesting full employment which bring challenges despite a buoyant business environment.”
