Survey signals good news for jobseekers

A new survey shows the number of available jobs in the construction sector is up 40%.

Overall, the latest employment monitor from recruitment firm, Morgan McKinley, is predicting steady job growth this year.

However, the firm has warned against a period of prolonged political uncertainty to protect the recovery in Ireland.

Tracey Keevan, the International Investment Manager with Morgan McKinley, said: "There is economic confidence coming across most of the sectors that we have seen, from a candidate perspective that is shown by the number of people that are looking for opportunities.

"Then it is shown obviously by certain sectors that are hiring, dare I say it, en masse at the moment."
