Working in Northern Ireland
Employment Landscape
Northern Ireland’s job market is showing signs of modest expansion alongside growing unease among professionals. Economic forecasts suggest growth of about 1.0 percent in 2025, edging up slightly to around 1.1 percent in 2026. Business services such as information and communications and professional, scientific and technical services are outperforming, registering faster output growth than manufacturing and public administration. At the same time, career optimism is weak—only around 36 percent of professionals in the region feel positive about their prospects, down sharply from a year earlier. The jobless rate, while still low, has ticked upward from around 1.6 percent in late 2024 to approximately 2.4 percent in late 2025, and redundancies have started to rise in line with that. Job seekers in Northern Ireland are encountering stiff competition for roles in its growing knowledge sectors, while more traditional areas like retail and construction remain hard to access without standout qualifications or networks.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
The strongest hiring trends are in business services, with the information and communications sector and professional services showing the most sustained output and jobs growth. Construction and wholesale and retail job numbers are rising more slowly. Overall labour market momentum appears to be slowing, and redundancies have climbed in recent months.
"Job seekers here are navigating a slow-moving market where growth is real but limited, so making your experience count matters more than ever."
