We may be in the middle of a major trade war and probably in the foothills of a worldwide recession. Ireland will almost certainly be impacted. And indeed the consultants Morgan McKinley says that some employers are quietly letting some staff go. 

Despite that, job opportunities for so-called white-collar workers were up 2% over the past year and even 7% over the past quarter. Interestingly, the number of people looking for opportunities was also up by even more – 16%.  But companies are adjusting but not scrapping their diversity programmes.
