The graph below shows unemployment levels in Ireland and the number of people leaving the country between 1988 and 2008. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features of the graph, and make comparisons where relevant.

The graph gives information about the

unemployment

and

emigration

rate

in Ireland between 1988 and 2008.

Overall

, it is obvious that

although

the incidence of

emigration

reduced from 1990 to 1998,there was a sharp growth in the

unemployment

rate

in

this

period.

However

,both categories witnessed a rise between 2004 and 2088.

According to

1988 and 1998,the

emigration

category stood at around 15% in 1988 and the

unemployment

rate

accounted for roughly 17%.After two years,there was a considerable decline to 15% and about 13% in terms of

emigration

and

unemployment

respectively.

However

,the

rate

of

unemployment

recovered in 1992

while

the percentage of people who left Ireland reduced sharply to approximately 9%.There was a fluctuation in the

rate

of

emigration

which was around 7% from 1992 to 1998.

Likewise

,the

rate

of unemployed people decreased the the same proportion at the same time. Regarding the period of 1998 to 2008,

although

the

emigration

category saw an oscillation to 2004,the percentage of

unemployment

fell dramatically.

In contrast

, there was an increase in both categories between 2004 to 2008.The migration peaked at roughly 15% and

unemployment

at about 6%.
