Most would take jab to get job
More than eight out of every ten people in Galway would take a job that required them to be vaccinated, a new survey by one of Ireland’s leading recruitment companies has revealed.
The annual FRS Recruitment Employment Insights Survey for 2021 highlights that optimism is returning to the jobs market in Galway as the country emerges from lockdown.
It also showed that 65% of Galway people are in favour of employers being required to check vaccine certification before admitting staff to their place of work.
48% of people in Galway believe they would secure a new job within three months and 17% believe they would do so within one month. More than one third of people in Galway (36%) also believe there will be more job opportunities available to them this year.
Three out of every four Galway employees (76%) expect to receive a pay rise in the next 12 months. While 61% would consider a pay cut if their job was at risk and 85% of people in Galway would be open to a reduction in their working week under those circumstances. 62% admit to being fearful for their job security which, as the country emerges from lockdown, is higher than the national average (58%).
