The Central Office of Statistics in Ireland’s website cso.ie has some interesting data tables that can be downloaded, so yesterday I decided to pull out the unemployment data and plot it.

I was curious because when I arrived in the country, the economy was doing really well, but I saw changes during the 2008 crisis. I thought it would be interesting to see what happened in the last few years. Even if the unemployment level hasn't yet reached the levels of 2005, I think the trend is definitely positive.
