## Resource

Ireland’s job market shows a slight but steady slowdown as unemployment climbs to 5%, up from 4.9% in May and higher than last year’s 4.6%. With 145,000 people actively seeking work, the rise reflects cooling hiring trends, with business surveys revealing fewer CEOs planning to expand staff. AI-driven shifts—like Meta’s recent layoffs—are accelerating this trend. Still, 5% remains a stable benchmark, signaling the economy is near full capacity, not in crisis. Job postings remain below pre-pandemic levels, and this pace of change is gradual, not abrupt—marking a quiet transition as companies adapt to new tech and economic realities.
