We have full employment, why do we need 70k new jobs??
Is there any news to this? If the Americans pull out of Ireland we’ll all be gnawing on potatoes very soon, like they are the one single reason Ireland has the money it has.
On the other hand, nobody should really take the orange scrote too seriously, so nothing will happen probably.
For background, this is a reduction of ~14,000 jobs per year in *growth*.
Ireland normally adds ~90,000 jobs to the market each year, so this is a reduction to an expected 76,000 jobs created each year instead (and that’s the worst case).
The US & its Citizens are a lost cause & they have no-one to blame but themselves ..
Nope… They cant blame Donald because they voted for him & its not like they didnt know what they were getting! ..
They already knew from his previous Presidency but went ahead to vote for him again anyway ..
Their image is unlikely to ever recover from this as lets be honest they never had a great image in the first place anyway.
So..the house prices will not increase as much as the last few years?
Why are we still talking about jobs? This should be an obsolete concept in the 21st century. AI is going to wipe out all jobs anyways.
We should be talking about how to introduce UBI, taxing the rich, and building housing for all, full stop.
These are from American companies and most likely Pharma or Tech based. These are people who likely have mortgages. If they all lose their jobs, there is a real chance that they cannot get a replacement job and their mortgages default. Suddenly there will be more houses in the market without the need to meet their targets.
Another housing bubble waiting to pop.
I hope this is not what FFG has been planning all along.
I have a family member who lost her job in pharma when Trump was voted in. Last month the same company came back and rehired all the staff they let go.
I got laid off today so this is a terrible headline to see 🫠 I will say – I believe part of the reason behind my layoff was to due to the uncertain business environment created by Trump and his tariff talk. The other reason was AI hype that the CEO jumped on.
The economy needed to cool down a little anyways sure we can’t build enough houses for all the migrants coming to fill these American tech jobs anyways
It’s time the government focused on the real economy instead of relying foreign direct investment that was always going to dry up
So how much does unemployment need to go up for inflation to go down ?
Slowdown might be blessing. Allow services and infrastructure to catch up. Government should be taking heat out of economy with years but keep growing spending.
Who would have guessed a paedophile wouldn’t be the best pick for US president 🤔
To be honest we have more jobs than we can fill domestically and have to import talent at a really high rate every year who we can’t house adequately so a bit of a cooldown on that front wouldnt be too bad a thing.
The tone of this coverage makes me crazy. We already know that „too big to fail“ is ridiculous and catastrophic, and we also cannot have trade partners on whom we are so reliant that we can be manipulated by a psycho’s whim.
If American trade destabilises Ireland and the EU, Ireland and the EU need to figure out a way to make our economies more robust.
Otherwise, we don’t have any actual sovereignty at all
I don’t get it. A lot of pharma products are on zero. We have the lowest tariffs in the world with few exceptions. Why would it create less jobs? US will lower their demand on medication?
