Unemployment Falls For First Time Since 2008

The Central Statistics Office’s (CSO) Quarterly National Household Survey for the fourth quarter of 2012 reveals a decrease in unemployment of 19,200.
18,000 people leaving the labour market account for the majority of this figure.
While today's figures show employment growth, the CSO cautions that it is a very small positive figure.
