The number of available jobs in Northern Ireland has fallen to the lowest level in two years, according to new research.
The NIJobs Report with Ulster Bank showed job vacancy numbers fell by 8% in the first quarter of 2023, a slide which has beaten expectations for a steeper decline and underpinned continued strength in the local labour market despite wider economic jitters.
Advertised job numbers on the online website fell in 28 of the 39 categories measured by the analysis but overall activity remains more than 40% above the levels recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
