JOBLESS TOTAL FELL BY 18,000 IN AUGUST
Unemployment fell by 18,000 to
2,295,400 in August, according to the
Central Statistical Office.
The fall came as a surprise as many
analysts had expected an increase.
The CSO said the small increase in
unemployment announced last month had
been revised to a small decrease and as
a result unemployment has fallen for 24
months in a row.
At the same time new employment figures
show the labour force growing, with
16,000 new jobs created in the second
quarter of this year. See 135/192
