Job market

Ireland is regularly cited as one of the most open markets in the world and rates highly in globalisation indexes. With the fastest growing economy in the European Union (EU), Ireland is a great option for those on the job hunt.

Growth in employment in ICT occupations over the last years was driven primarily by an increase in employment for programmers and software developers. The service sector dominates the job market. Opportunities can be found in a number of major industries including the growing technology sector, where the demand for IT workers is high, and thanks to Ireland's rising popularity as a holiday destination, the hospitality and tourism industry are in need of both skilled and casual workers.

The country is also home to several multinational companies, including: Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Ryanair.
