Job vacancies record modest decline

Dublin job postings on the Indeed website in May 2023 remained above the February 2020 baseline (+14.5 percentage points) but continued on a broadly downward trajectory. Job postings for the Capital have exceeded the baseline in each month since July 2021 yet declining vacancies suggest employers in the Capital are either filling positions or tailoring recruitment plans given the tight labour market conditions. Job postings across the rest of Ireland continued on a contrasting and upward trajectory in May (+124.5 percentage points versus 2020), suggesting that differing market dynamics exist outside Dublin - potentially related to the availability of labour.
