More than one in 10 workers in Ireland changed jobs in the first quarter according to new figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

Using Revenue's PAYE data, the CSO said the country's job churn rate was 11.8%, down 0.8 percentage points on the first three months of 2023. The churn rate measures employee turnover using the number of employees who changed jobs and stayed in the same job.
