Relative to other geographies a high proportion of the new Metropolitan Area and Limerick City’s population are between the ages of 15 and 24 which points to a growing workforce over the next 10 years.

Table 3 below presents the absolute and proportional population changes between 2006 and 2011.

In 2006, 17% of the Mid-West workforce was employed in manufacturing compared to 12.6% nationally. There was also significant employment in construction as part of the wider Ireland property bubble. Total employment in construction in 2006 was 11.3% of the active workforce. Therefore, in 2006, 28% of employment in the Mid-West Region and Limerick was in the vulnerable sectors of manufacturing and construction.
