Recent job figures in Northern Ireland have shown a strong growth in wages despite a drop in the employment rate.

The unemployment rate from June-August was 1.9%; this is a record low and the lowest of the UK regions. Typical monthly pay in Northern Ireland was £2,241 in September, which is 6.6% higher, or £139 more, than the same time last year.
