The Accredited Official Statistics release for the Quarterly Employment Survey: March 2027 sets out short-term estimates of employee jobs in Northern Ireland. Published on a quarterly basis, the survey provides an updated snapshot of employment positions across the region.
The release focuses on employee jobs estimates for Northern Ireland rather than wider labour market measures. As a quarterly statistical update, it is designed to track short-term movement in employee job numbers over time.
These Northern Ireland figures also feed into a broader UK dataset. The Office for National Statistics uses the results from the survey as part of its calculation of quarterly workforce jobs estimates for the UK as a whole.
Because of that role, the March 2027 Quarterly Employment Survey serves both regional and national purposes. It offers a current view of employee jobs in Northern Ireland while also contributing to the wider picture of workforce jobs across the UK.
