A quick look at online job firms will readily yield an increase in jobs in the Irish construction sector. It is certainly a great development, as it only shows that the industry is in progress.

In the first quarter of 2014, it was reported that the number of jobs advertised online alone has increased by a good 5% parallel to the same time of the preceding year. Again, that is merely online. There are jobs that are being posted on the paper and other forms of media.

It may be a rather small increase, but the important thing is that the industry is thriving and it is safe to say that better things are ahead. It shows a lot of promise for an industry that a few years ago may not be as good as it is now. Quite truthfully, whichever way you look at it, a small rise is still a rise. But if you look into a much bigger picture, that percentage has all the potential to go a long way.

The increase in jobs opens doors for the different workers in the construction industry. The firms are now even more strict in hiring workers, which means they are trying to get only those that are fit for a specific position. The ones deemed more effective and efficient will get the jobs, thus making for a steady progress. Gone are the days when some knowledge of tools like a diamond blade or a diamond core bit is good enough to land you a job in the industry, as firms have presented a much better screening process.

According to Irishjobs.ie, the said rate of 5% is a decent leap from the preceding quarter’s 2%. But the construction industry is not the only one that has seen progress, as others have also been steadily rising Engineering, tourism, architecture, property, manufacturing, and production – things are certainly looking good for many businesses in this part of Europe.

If things are looking good for Ireland, global construction can only hope this success resonates to a much bigger scale. The good thing is that the UK generally has been experiencing a steady progress in construction, and the same goes for the United States. If things go well for these top economies, global construction may just experience a boom. Of course, this is something we are all hoping and praying for.
