IDA enjoys 10-year high for job creation
In total, more than 13,000 jobs were created by IDA client companies last year, with the net figure — after job losses are taken into account — coming in at around 6,000 positions. This is the best yearly performance since 2002, the agency said yesterday at the launch of its annual report.
Last year also boasted the lowest number of job losses for a single year in over a decade and — at 148 — a record total of investments won. As many as 61 overseas companies invested in Ireland for the first time during 2011.
