Ireland's broader unemployment rates per CSO and adding State Training Programmes participants are as follows:
- PLS1 indicator is unemployed persons plus discouraged workers as a percentage of the Labour Force plus discouraged workers as of Q4 2012: 14.9%
- PLS2 indicator is unemployed persons plus Potential Additional Labour Force as a percentage of the Labour Force plus Potential Additional Labour Force as of Q4 2012: 16.1%
- PLS3 indicator is unemployed persons plus Potential Additional Labour Force plus others who want a job, who are not available and not seeking for reasons other than being in education or training as a percentage of the Labour Force plus Potential Additional Labour Force plus others who want a job, who are not available and not seeking for reasons other than being in education or training as of Q4 2012: 18.2%
- PLS4 indicator is unemployed persons plus Potential Additional Labour Force plus others who want a job, who are not available and not seeking for reasons other than being in education or training plus part-time underemployed persons as a percentage of the Labour Force plus Potential Additional Labour Force plus others who want a job, who are not available and not seeking for reasons other than being in education or training as of Q4 2012: 24.6%
- PLS$ indicator including those on State Training Programmes as of Q4 2012: 28.4%
And three charts with dynamics:
Now, y/y changes in percentage points change:
- PLS1: -0.7 ppt
- PLS2: -0.6 ppt
- PLS3: -0.2 ppt
- PLS4: -0.2 ppt
- PLS4 and State Training Programmes participants: +0.98 ppt
So one thing is pretty clear: the broader the measure of unemployment we take, the lower is the rate of decline y/y and the smaller is the rate of decline relative to peak.
