International Labour Organisation warns of false dawn in jobs recovery

Ireland’s unemployment rate, including for young people, has dropped below the eurozone average over the past year, according to Eurostat figures.

However the International Labour Organisation warns they expect it to begin increasing again after next year, largely because of economic turmoil and growing and persistent inequality.

The numbers out of work in the euro area are at their lowest since August 2012, but remain stubbornly high at 11.4%.
