The given line graph compares the relation with the unemployment rate and the number of
people emigrating or migrating from Ireland between 1988 and 2008. It is manifest from the
graph that from 1990 to 2008, unemployment rate and number of people leaving Ireland

decline in the number of Irish people moving out from their home country, to nearly 30, 000.
This was followed by a slow drop in numbers, with minor fluctuations, to 20, 000 by the year
2000. After 2000, there was again a moderate rise in the number of people quitting Ireland
and by 2008 this number was 40, 000.

followed similar trend as the number of people leaving Ireland and it fell significantly to 6%
in the mid 1990s. Unemployment rate remained fairly stable till 2006, but showed a growth
