The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the official source of estimates of labour force (ILO) in the State.
The LFS replaced the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) from Q3 2017.
The most recent LFS figures available are for Q3 2017.
The LFS publishes estimates of the usual hours of work for persons in employment.
Usual hours worked are available from the LFS in one hour segments only.
The table shows the number of employees (ILO) aged 15 years and over classified by usual hours worked per week* and these persons as a percentage of the labour force.
* Bands (other than 11-14 hours) sourced from the 2016 Hours Contract Bill.
Total labour force = Total employed (self-employed and employees) plus total unemployed.
