The official estimates on numbers of people at work and unemployment rates are produced from the CSO’s Labour Force Survey (LFS). Between Q2 2018 and Q2 2019, the number of people at work in Ireland increased by 45,000 (+2.0%), rising from 2,255,000 to 2,300,000.
This analysis on the labour force in Ireland uses data from the LFS to examine tenure, family unit and type of dwelling. The breakdown of rates presented are based on the rates methodology as they appear in quarterly LFS releases. See Table 1 of LFS Q2 2019.
The labour force participation rate fell slightly from 62.3% to 62.1% between Q2 2018 and Q2 2019. The highest labour force participation rate was 75.3% among persons who ‘rent from a landlord’ in Q2 2019 while the lowest rate was 44.5% for ‘rented from a local authority’. The largest change in the participation rate over this time period was a drop of 2.2 percentage points for those who ‘rent from a landlord’, see Table 3.1.
Persons in family units composed of 'couple with children' had the highest participation rate at 71.6%. The lowest rate was among those in 'single person household' family units at 46.7%, see Table 3.2.
In Q2 2019, persons living in an 'apartment, flat, bedsit' had the highest participation rate by dwelling type at 73.2%. Excluding ‘not stated’, the lowest rate by dwelling type was 59.5% for people in a 'terraced house', see Table 3.3.

The employment rate (calculated as a percentage of all persons aged 15-64) was 69.1% in Ireland in Q2 2019 for people aged 15-64. The highest rate was 73.3% for those who ‘rent from a landlord’ while the lowest was 40.6% for ‘rented from a local authority’, see Table 3.4.
Persons in households composed of a ‘couple with no children’ had the highest employment rate at 75.4% in Q2 2019, while the lowest rate was 54.1% for those in ‘one parent (female) household'. The largest change in the employment rate between Q2 2018 and Q2 2019 was for those in ‘single person household’, which rose by 4.6 percentage points from 66.5% to 71.1%, (see Table 3.5).
The highest employment rate by dwelling type was 73.6% for persons in an ‘apartment, flat, bedsit’ in Q2 2019, while the lowest rate for a stated category was 66.5% for ‘terraced house’.

The unemployment rate (calculated as a percentage of those in the labour force only and aged 15-74) in the State in Q2 2019 was 5.4%, a decrease of 0.6 percentage points from 6.0% in Q2 2018. The unemployment rate fell for persons across all four tenure types in Q2 2019 compared with the same quarter in the previous year. Persons in accommodation 'rented from a local authority' recorded the biggest fall (-4.6 percentage points) in unemployment rates over the year, from 21.7% in Q2 2018 to 17.1% in Q2 2019. See Table 3.7 and Figure 3.1.
The largest drop in the rate of unemployment by family unit type was in ‘single person household’ which fell from 7.2% in Q2 2018 to 5.5% in Q2 2019. See Table 3.8 and Figure 3.2.
People in a 'detached house' had the lowest unemployment rate by tenure type in Q2 2019, at 4.6%, while people in a 'terraced house' had the highest at 6.4%. See Table 3.9 and Figure 3.3.

One in five (20.1%) workers were part-time in Q2 2019. The highest proportion of part-time workers at 35.7% were in accommodation ‘rented from a local authority’, while the lowest proportion was 16.7% in ‘rent from a landlord’. See Table 3.10 and Figure 3.4.
The highest proportion of part-time workers by household composition was 37.2% for ‘one parent (female) household'. Only 14.5% of people at work in ‘couple with no children’ households were part-time. See Table 3.11 and Figure 3.5.
One in five (21.7%) people in a 'terraced house' worked part-time, the highest share by dwelling type. See Table 3.12 and Figure 3.6.

One in ten people in the State (9.6%) lived in a jobless household in Q2 2019.
More than one in three (35.0%) people who 'rented from a local authority' lived in a jobless household, compared with just 4.6% of those who were an 'owner occupied' tenure. See Table 3.15 and figure 3.10
The highest proportion of households that were jobless by family unit type were a 'one parent (female) household' at 30.4%, compared with just 4.8% for a 'couple with children'.
People living in a 'terraced house' had the highest rate of living in a jobless household by dwelling type at 13.0%, while the lowest rate was 5.3% for people in a 'detached house'.
