The Central Statistics Office issued their latest Quarterly National Household Survey for Quarter 1, 2007.

So what does it tell us about unemployment? The good news is that long-term unemployment is down to 26,000, representing 1.2% of the labour force. The last time long-term unemployment stood at this figure was Q3 in 2002.
