Immigrants fare less well than Irish nationals in the Irish labour market. They face higher risks of unemployment and they are less likely to secure the higher level - professional and managerial - occupations. Non-Irish nationals are also more likely to report having experienced discrimination both in access to employment and in the workplace. The new research report shows higher levels of disadvantage among minority ethnic groups in accessing work and indicates that English language skills are an important factor in migrants’ labour market experience.
