As part of the wider effort to operate within the current financial constraints, the Human Resource Consultancy Services (HRCS) team within NISRA, reviewed the quarterly Employment in the NICS bulletin. While we recognise the value that users place on the written report and the commentary provided, we have decided to suspend publication of the written report until further notice to ensure continued delivery of wider analytical priorities, in the face of constrained resource. We will continue to publish the data tables on a quarterly basis as normal.
