Executive Summary The Annual Employment Survey provides an analysis of employment levels in industrial (including Primary Production) and services companies under the remit of IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Shannon Development and Údarás na Gaeltachta1. The main findings of the 2010 survey are set out below.
Overall Total permanent full-time employment in agency-assisted companies operating in all sectors amounted to 275,693 in 2010. This is a decrease of 6,521 jobs (2.3 percent) on employment levels in 2009, and reflects a softening in the contraction in the economy throughout 2010. It follows a very substantial 32,362 net job loss in 2009. While there continued to be employment losses due to plant closures in 2010, approximately four-fifths of losses are being generated by companies who are continuing to trade but are reducing their staff numbers.
Total full-time employment among Irish-owned companies amounted to 136,385 in 2010, a decrease of 4,889 (3.5 percent) on the previous year. Employment in Irish-owned firms had increased from 153,869 in 2001 to 164,911 in 2007 (7.2 percent), but fell by 17.3 percent (28,526 jobs) from this recent pre-recession peak. While large full-time employment losses were seen in Irish-owned companies, there was a continued increase of 8.3 percent (1,466 jobs) in part-time temporary jobs in 2010, reinforcing a trend arising in 2009, when many companies reduced full-time employment and increased part-time employment.
Among foreign-owned companies, total full-time employment amounted to 139,308 in 2010, a decrease of 1,632 (1.2 percent) on the previous year. In 2001, employment in foreign-owned firms stood at 162,688 and fell by 7 percent to 151,342 in 2003 following the dot-com bubble, before recovering again to 156,297 in 2007. Over the recent recession, employment in foreign-owned companies has decreased by 16,989 (10.9 percent), over the period 2007-2010 to 139,308. As with Irish-owned companies, foreign-owned part-time employment also increased significantly, by 1,897 jobs (14.1 percent) in 2010.
Sectoral The sectoral employment breakdown shows evidence of continuing structural change in agencyassisted companies towards services sectors and a decline in some Construction-related sectors in 2009. Full-time employment in all Industrial sector companies declined from 230,718 in 2001 to 215,375 in 2007 (a fall of 6.7 percent), while services employment increased 23.7 percent, from 85,539 to 105,833 in 2007. Between 2007 and 2010, employment in Industry declined 18.5 percent from 215,375 to 175,582 during the recession, while services employment held fairly steady over the same period (105,833 in 2007; 102,111 in 2010).
There was a net loss of 7,231 jobs (4.0 percent) between 2009 and 2010 in the Industrial sector. Net job losses occurred in all Industrial sub-sectors in 2010, with the exception of the Food sector, which showed a modest net gain of 133 jobs (0.4 percent). The sectors that showed the most 1

significant net losses were Non-Metallic Minerals (-971; 14.6 percent), Construction and Utilities (815; 11.6 percent), Basic & Fabricated Metal Products (-731; 6.7 percent), Miscellaneous Manufacturing (-715; 10.3 percent), and Chemicals (-706; 3.0 percent).
The services sectors experienced an employment rebound in many areas, including Computer Consultancy and Other IT and Computer Services Activities, which recorded increases of 1,025 jobs (4.0 percent), and 643 jobs (14.1 percent), respectively. Business Services were down 634 jobs (4.9 percent). Financial Services recorded modest employment losses of 368 jobs (1.8 percent). Total employment in the services sectors increased to 102,111 in 2010 which was a net gain of 710 or 0.7 percent on 2009. This is an increase of 16,272 (19.0 percent) on 2001 employment levels.
Regional All regions continued to see a reduction in employment levels in 2010. The South and East (S&E) remains the largest region in employment terms, accounting for 118,351, or 42.9 percent, of total agency employment. Its employment decreased by 18,865 jobs (13.7 percent) since 2001, less than a tenth of which were lost in 2010. The Border, Midlands and West (BMW) and Dublin regions suffered losses of 15.6 percent and 9.8 percent respectively over the period 2001 to 2010, representing respective losses of 11,711 and 10,254 jobs. Irish-owned industrial and services firms located in the South and East (S&E) accounted for 41.2 percent (56,195 jobs) of total Irish-owned full-time employment in 2010, compared with 41.6 percent (68,627 jobs) in 2007. The BMW region accounted for 28.7 percent (47,291 jobs) of Irishowned employment in 2007, and fell to 27.6 percent (37,636 jobs) in 2010. Foreign-owned industrial and services firms located in the S&E accounted for 62,156 jobs in 2010, down 11.4 percent from 70,178 jobs in 2007. In overall terms, the BMW region’s share of full-time employment in foreign-owned companies has remained steady at 18.5 percent between 2007 and 2010, despite a reduction in absolute terms of 3,242 jobs from 28,956 to 25,714 over the same period.

Introduction This document sets out the final results of the 2010 Forfás Annual Employment Survey2. The survey is an annual census of employment in all manufacturing and services companies supported by the enterprise development agencies (IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Shannon Development and Údarás na Gaeltachta). The survey has been carried out each year since 1973. Forfás, in line with its mandate to co-ordinate the activities of Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, continues to carry out the survey with the co-operation of Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland regional staff. Shannon Development and Údarás na Gaeltachta carry out the survey for companies falling within their remit and provide the results for inclusion in the Forfás database.
The structure of the main body of the report is as follows:
Section 1 provides overall employment trends in manufacturing and services sectors, the results of which are broken down on the basis of Irish and foreign-ownership. Data on parttime, temporary and short-term contract employment are also provided for companies within the remit of Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, Shannon Development3 and Údarás na Gaeltachta.
Section 2 provides a regional analysis of permanent full-time employment
Section 3 analyses the same data on the basis of industrial sector.
It should be noted that employment figures in this document may differ from those previously reported at year-end due to factors such as the inclusion of new companies, revisions made by companies during the survey or the transfer of companies between Irish and foreign ownership at the end of each survey year.

An overview of this survey, together with the methodology and definitions used for each employee category is provided in Appendix 3. 3 Shannon Development collected data on ‘non permanent’ forms of employment since 2000.

Total permanent, full-time employment in agency-assisted companies operating in the industrial and services sectors amounted to 275,693 in 2010, a decrease of 6,521 jobs (2.3 percent) on employment levels in 2009. Over the ten year period, illustrated above, employment has decreased by 12.9 percent in 2001, and by 14.2 percent from its pre-recession peak in 2007, to its current level.
Total full-time employment among Irish-owned companies amounted to 136,385 in 2010, a decrease of 4,889 on the previous year. This decline of 3.5 percent comes on top of a 11.5 percent fall in employment the previous year. Irish-owned companies have shed 28,526 jobs since 2007, just prior to the onset of recession.
Among foreign-owned companies, total full-time employment amounted to 139,308 in 2010, a decrease of 1,632 (1.2 percent) on the previous year. These job losses combined with the 9 percent employment decreases in 2009, results in employment among foreign-owned companies being 14.4 percent (23,380 jobs) lower than 2001 employment levels.

In addition to permanent full-time employment, there were a further 34,345 jobs of a temporary or part-time nature recorded in agency-assisted companies in 2010. This represents an increase of 3,363 jobs (10.9 percent) on the previous year and an increase of 1,531 (4.7 percent) on the number engaged in 2001.
Among Irish-owned companies, there was an increase in temporary and part-time employment of 1,466 (8.3 percent) in 2010. This represents the trend of companies employing people on a parttime basis rather than on full-time hours. The current part-time employment level of 19,025 is 861 (4.7 percent) higher than in 2007, when such employment amounted to 18,164.
Employment of a temporary or part-time nature among foreign-owned companies amounted to 15,320 in 2010, an increase of 1,897 jobs (14.1 percent) on the previous year. This represents a decrease of 2,587 (14.4 percent) over the period 2007 to 2010.

The table above segments all permanent full-time employment into industrial4 and services sectors. Permanent full-time employment in Industry has fallen from a high of 230,718 in 2001 to its current level of 173,582 in 2010. This represents a decrease of 57,136 jobs (24.8 percent), 41,793 of which have been lost since 2007.
The services sector, on the other hand, has grown over the period 2001 – 2010, with permanent full-time employment reaching a high of 109,618 jobs in 2008, falling to 101,401 in 2009 before recovering to 102,111 in 2010. This represents an increase of 19 percent over the ten year period. Growth in the services sectors has helped to offset the employment losses seen in the Industrial sectors.
In 2010, employment in Industry decreased by 7,231 jobs (4.0 percent) from the 2009 level; the services sector gained permanent full-time employment between 2009 and 2010, gaining 710 jobs or 0.7 percent in the year.
4 In the course of this report, “Industry” or “Industrial sectors” includes all Manufacturing sectors, as well as Construction, Utilities and Primary Production, unless otherwise stated.

Figure 1.4 illustrates the employment in the Industrial sector and the services sector in both Irish and foreign agency-assisted companies. The majority of both Irish and foreign employment is accounted for by the Industrial sectors. It is notable that over the past decade the services sector has increased its share of total employment in both Irish and foreign companies, so that it now accounts for 37 percent of total agency employment.

Figure 1.5 highlights how employment in Irish-owned companies’ compares to that of foreign-owned companies in both the industrial and the services sectors. In the Industrial sector, indigenous industries have seen relatively small employment losses up to 2007, when compared to the foreign-owned companies, which have had continuously decreasing employment since 2001. In the services sector, foreign-owned companies employ significantly more people than indigenous firms. However, both foreign and Irish firms in this sector have seen similar rates of employment growth up to 2007, and similar rates of decline, in the case of 2008 to 2009 during the recent recession.

The above table and accompanying chart document trends in temporary and part-time employment on the basis of industrial and services sectors.
Within the Industrial sectors, numbers employed in temporary and part-time employment were approximately between 22,000 and 23,000 from 2001 until 2006. At the start of the recession in 2008, temporary employment dropped to 18,409, but has since climbed to 20,034, an increase of 2,208 (12.4 percent) on 2009.
Temporary and part-time employment within the services sectors has climbed steadily from 9,893 in 2001 to 14,311 in 2010 – an increase of 4,418 (44.7 percent). Between 2009 and 2010, temporary and part-time employment in services increased by 1,155 (8.8 percent).

The net change in employment comprises gross job gains (firms that have increased employment) less gross job losses (in firms where employment numbers have decreased).
In the period 2001 – 2004, agency-assisted companies recorded net job losses; this was followed by a period of net job creation in 2005 – 2007. The period 2008-2010 is characterised by net job losses, with particularly heavy gross job losses in 2009. In 2010, gross employment gains of 18,351 were offset by gross employment losses of 24,872; the net loss of 6,521 was a much softer decline than in 2009.

Figure 1.9 provides an overview of gross job gains, job losses and net job change in foreign-owned agency-assisted companies between 2001 and 2010.
During the period 2001–2004, net job losses were recorded, while 2005-2006 was a period of employment growth, characterised by positive year-on-year net increases in employment across foreign-owned companies. Net losses have been recorded in each of the past four years, the heaviest occurring in 2009 during the recent global downturn, but net losses have moderated in 2010.
In 2009, net job losses amounted to a very substantial 13,960. In 2010, job gains of 9,377 were outweighed by losses of 11,009 to give a net loss for the year of 1,632 jobs, again indicating a stabilisation of the employment figures.

Table 3.1 provides a sectoral analysis of permanent, full-time employment for 2010 along with job gains and losses. It also provides net percentage change in employment between 2009 and 2010.
From the table we can see that the majority (66.8 percent) of Irish-owned employment continues to be found in the Manufacturing sector. This sector has seen the loss of 9,446 jobs in 2010, with job gains accounting for 5,467, a net loss of 3,979 jobs (4.2 percent). Five sectors account for the bulk of these job losses.
Construction and Utilities, Construction-related sectors such as Basic and Fabricated Metal Products, Non-Metallic Minerals and Miscellaneous Manufacturing accounted for over half of Irishowned Manufacturing net job losses in 2010. The Food sector recorded a 0.8 percent increase in employment in 2010, after incurring heavy employment losses in 2009.
The services sectors account for 31.5 percent of Irish agency-assisted employment. This sector created 3,315 jobs in 2010 and recorded losses of 4,100, resulting in net job losses of 785 (1.8 percent). In this sector, the only substantial loss was seen in Business Services, with decreased employment of 5.2 percent (649 jobs). Other IT and Computer Service Activities saw a net increase of 245 (14.3 percent).
