Number of IT workers in employment holds steady despite tech layoffs

Number in employment across the country increased 2.6% over the past 12 months

Ireland's tech sector has added more than 10,000 jobs since 2019.

There has been a slight increase in the number of IT workers in the State despite a series of tech layoffs by multinationals operating in Ireland.

New data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) using payroll data from the Revenue shows that 2.4 million people were in employment in June, a similar number to last month but an increase of 61,300 or 2.6% compared to June 2022.
