Forbes names Ireland best country in the world to do business for the first time
- Peroni 13y agoThere's a lot of context missing from this article. Unemployment remains stubbornly high—a recent 12.8%—providing companies a large labor pool to pick from. Whilst the percentage is accurate, the final statement isn't if you are referring to a tech workforce. There is a huge issue of emigration in Ireland, levels not seen for decades and the vast majority of skilled tech workers are heading for the UK, Canada, the US, Australia & NZ where there are more opportunities and, in most circumstances, better wages. The other major oversight is the cost of living. Dublin is a beautiful city with a fantastic tech culture however it's also an exceptionally expensive city to live in.
