Realistically speaking when will there start to be more jobs in the Republic of Ireland?
I am working at the moment and have another plan that will keep me going for a while after that. But then that is it. Will the Recession be any bit better in a year and a half? Any interesting articles via links about the situation would be very much appreciated.. I would be in the Accounts area training to be an Accountant. Cheers for answers Thanks for all the great answers. I cannot make up my mind so will leave it to a vote. Thanks again

Answer 2 :
We need to stop losing them before we start gaining them again. I can see it taking a few years. I lived with a few accounting students last year who were doing their masters. I think about a quarter of their class got jobs and the rest are in limbo.
Answer 3 :

Answer 5 :
When I was out of work I did a FÃS accounts course (Level 5 FETAC Certificate in Computerised Accounts & Payroll). All it taught me was that I fecking HATE bookkeeping. I'm so pleased I'll never have to prepare another trial balance ever. You must have some serious brains CG!
Answer 6 :
There will be more jobs when the rest of the world has recovered economically and starts buying from us again, there is nothing in the Irish economy itself to actually bring about a recovery, the banks have effectively stopped lending, people are afraid to spend, and it will be about 30 years before the taxpayer pays off the public purchase of bad debts (thats NAMA by another name). We have an oversupply in the housing market and the boom was generated on the back of construction and selling overpriced goods and services to each other that we didnt need in the first place, the entire economy was a giant pyramid scheme supported by self-serving politicians who didnt have the guts to call a halt. When I left college in the 80s unemployment was 17%, we're not even there yet. It was accepted that we would have to emigrate to find work and we did.
Answer 7 :
Oh good, I don't know! I'm very lucky in that I'm still in school but have 2 part time jobs and don't get pay cuts or taxed or anything like that. But I know soo many people that have lost theirs and people are still losing them. Our economics teacher said it could take up to 3 years. :S Love Accounting in school, then went to an accountants for Work Experience in 4th year and all the dudes told me to stay away from it... haha.
Answer 8 :
I hope in the next year or two but realistically thinking would say a few more years than that..Have seen so many lose their jobs lately here & think it will get worse before gets better..
Answer 9 :
YES to Jobs...YES to Lisbon....
Answer 10 :
The good times are over...for good..half a million people unemployed.. most of them from the Construction Sector which will never recover simply because the country is full of empty houses that nobody can afford to buy....so start looking abroad for work.....any work...
