"Great news! 400 new jobs announced" - attitude towards more jobs

We need inward investment to keep driving the economy so as to generate the taxes required to pay for houses and public transport.

As soon as these announcements stop happening, we're all f**ked.

So, bring em on.

There are 170,000 people unemployed:

There are 180,000 people on the Live Register and 140,000 on PUP, that is 320,000 total

I agree. What's lacking in Ireland is access to housing and public transport. More jobs compound these problems.

So wait.....more jobs.....a wealthier population and a stronger economy is a bad thing?

Housing and transport are issues that would be helped with more tax money coming in. More jobs mean more spending power and that means more taxes which can be used to fund housing developments and transport infrastructure.

This is it, the whole economic system is a disaster. Growth growth growth with no regard for anything else. Some kind of leveling out is required instead of just being slaves to GDP.

There are still thousands on the live register. Its not entirely true to say anyone who wants a job can get a job. Most people want a career in their field, not just any job. A positive new story is good to read among all the doom and gloom.

All functional economies are like that. But here and in the rest of the developed world there is a shift from the continuous increase in numbers (which is not happening anymore) to an increase in value added which leads to an increase in tax paid per worker.

So, 400 office or other skilled jobs including factory jobs - good, 400 amazon warehouse jobs - not so good.

our rising house prices are primarily due to running our economy primarily on private sector created money, we call this credit, and a serious lack of supply of houses, immigration is only a very minor entity of this outcome, if at all

Ah I see we're blaming the immigrants.

hahaha yea right, tis nothing to be doing with sectors, whos main aim is continually cause property and land price inflation(our ould butties, the fire sectors(finance, insurance, and real estate!!!!))

only thats not whats truly causing it
