Northern Ireland Job Market Holds Steady | Belfast News

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Redundancies tick up slightly, signaling tough business decisions, yet median pay is rising — up over 5% and outpacing inflation. Unemployment stays low at 2.4%, and economic inactivity falls, painting a picture of a resilient, if subtly shifting, labor landscape.
