86% feel secure about jobs

MORE than eight in 10 Irish workers believe it’s almost impossible they could lose their jobs in the next year, according to a survey published yesterday.

The latest career confidence index research released by Manpower Ireland revealed 85.7 % of Irish workers believe it is ‘not very or not at all possible’ they will be laid off from their job during the next 12 months.

Just 13.5 % of respondents said it was ‘very or somewhat possible’ they would be laid off, down from 20.6% in May 2006.
