Pockets of Positive News for the Irish Job Market

If you are on the job hunt in Ireland at the moment, or perhaps someone from abroad looking to relocate, you probably have a few questions about what exactly is going on in terms of the Irish labour market at the moment. If this is the case, then you are in luck, as some recent research and salary survey efforts have provided some interesting results in terms of Ireland, the job market and the current economic downturn.

Straight off the bat- things do not look that good. Average salary levels in Ireland have dropped as much a fifth in the past year, according to a new salary survey conducted by Reed Global. Not surprisingly, the financial sector has been the hardest hit, with salaries in this sector showing the largest decrease. However, there are still pockets within the financial sector which are providing some positivity amongst the decline. For example, the research revealed that the demand for experienced credit controllers, insolvency experts and technology specialists has seen steady salaries, despite the recession.

The I-gaming industry has also provided some positive results, with salary guides indicating that the dramatic growth in this industry has lead to an increase in salaries for the right individuals, particularly those who have experience in cutting-edge software.

All in all the salary survey produced by Reed Global is a valuable resource for organisations, employees and jobseekers alike, as it provides a rare and objective view into the current labour market and salary norms across a variety of industries. Definitely worth a read of you are in the Irish job market at the moment.
