Unemployment level falls to lowest level in 9 years

The unemployment rate fell slightly again last month - and now stands at its lowest for nearly nine years.

There were almost 134-thousand people out of work in April according to the CSO, compared to over 140-thousand in March. That means that only 6-point-2 percent of the working public doesn't have a job at the moment. Those most likely to be unemployed are now men aged between 15 and 24.
