Update to Labour Force Survey and Format Change

7 February 2024

ISSDA is pleased to announce that we have received the latest update of the Labour Force Survey from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This update adds Q3 2023 of the Labour Force Survey to ISSDA.  

Please be aware that there has been a change in format for the Labour Force Survey. The datasets are now being issued in CSV and SAS format and will no longer be issued in STATA.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a large-scale, nationwide survey of households in Ireland conducted by the Central Statistics Office. It is designed to produce quarterly labour force estimates that include the official measure of employment and unemployment in the state.

For more information and instructions on how to access the data see our Labour Force Survey webpage
