Employment prospects in Ireland are higher now than at any time in the past three years, according to a survey conducted by FAS and the ESRI.

Nine hundred firms in the construction, retail, industry and services sectors were questioned about their level of job vacancies and employment outlook as part of the study.

Around 10% reported an increase in vacancies during the first quarter of this year.

Overall, firms in the four sectors surveyed said they expected their employment levels to increase in the coming months.
