Upbeat outlook for jobs market

The jobs market here has a positive future, despite the decline in the unemployment rate likely to slow after the recent Brexit vote.

Recruitment and HR services firm Collins McNicholas said yesterday it expects the number of people at work in Ireland to exceed two million this year; which would be the first time the number has hit that mark since before the global recession.

“The outlook for Ireland’s labour market is positive,” according to Collins McNicholas managing director Niall Murray.
