Professional salaries to remain flat outside of niche in-demand jobs

Only niche roles - such as IT, financial services and customs-related jobs - are likely to see any salary increase this year

Demand for workers in customs and trade-related roles is expected to intensify throughout this year as Brexit pressures persist, with that cohort of the workforce also among the few likely to see any salary increase, according to a survey.

Irish salary levels are likely to remain flat this year, save for increases of around 5% in some niche employment areas, according to recruitment company Morgan McKinley.
