Regional impact of COVID-19: Western Region & Atlantic Economic Corridor

No 10/EL/20, Economic Letters from Central Bank of Ireland

Abstract: The impact of COVID-19 on the labour market has been severe across the country. This Letter examines the dynamics of the COVID-19 shock on the Western Region and Atlantic Economic Corridor. A concentration of jobs in consumer-facing sectors such as tourism and accommodation mean that workers in these counties have been adversely affected by public health restrictions. Younger and female workers are particularly vulnerable to employment shocks. Analysis of job postings point to very slack labour market conditions, with some counties particularly weak.
