Motivation (fundamentals): The Central Statistics Office of Ireland reports quarterly employment from a labor force survey, but not as part of national accounts (NA).  Eurostat reports national accounts employment for Ireland, but with limited industry detail (11 broad aggregates), and with a lag. 

Response (estimates): For international consistency, Moody's Analytics has computed a total and 21 detailed NACE Rev. 2 industries at a quarterly frequency.

Properties:

• Measurement: Thousands of persons (Ths.) seasonally adjusted (SA)
• History: Quarterly from as early as 1998Q1
• Additivity: Total employment equals the sum of industries
• Geo coverage: Nation

Our estimated dataset resides in the historical catalog (Ireland » National Accounts » Branch Accounts » Employment by industry) and includes, for example:

• RENATOTQ.IIRL - Total (all-industries) employment
• RENAMFQ.IIRL - Employment for manufacturing [10-33]
• RNACNQ.IIRL - Employment for construction [41-43]
