Local Unemployment Figures

Despite another year of Celtic Tiger prosperity, unemployment figures recently released by the CSO show that in July, for the second successive month, the number out of work in Dundalk increased.

However the picture is slightly different when the yearly figures are examined, and the July figures for the town stands at 2962, which is actually 14 lower that at the same period in 2005, made up of 1,819 males and 1,143 females.
