Ireland's unemployment rate dropped to 4.1% in April from 4.4% in March, according to CSO data, indicating a stable labor market.
(Reuters) - Ireland's unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in April from a revised rate of 4.4% a month earlier, data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) showed on Wednesday.
Revisions to the previous three months - a common occurrence when more detailed quarterly data is available - also put the unemployment rate in February at 4.4% and not the 3.9% that had provisionally matched the record low set in the early 2000s.
The jobless rate had previously provisionally matched that record low level during 2023 and at one point fell to 3.8%, before being revised higher. It has remained between 4.1% and 4.6% since March 2022.
