Irish-based job searches out of the US almost doubled in the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's election victory, according to jobs website Indeed.
Ireland saw the third biggest surge, increasing 91%; Canada was in second place rising 137%; and New Zealand showed the biggest increase of 305%.
The UK was the seventh most popular job-search destination from the US.
The peak day for foreign job searches on Indeed was 9 November, the day after the election – running at twice the normal rate.
The trend cut across various societal groups with both college graduates and those without a college degree, as well as millennials and Generation Xers included.
However, the increase in foreign searches was greater in areas that favoured Hillary Clinton over her Republican rival.
Among large metropolitan areas that typically have a high share of foreign job searches, the post-election surge was biggest in Durham, North Carolina, Austin, Texas and Seattle— all of which would traditionally be left-leaning, highly educated urban centres.
On election night the starkest reaction was the surge of interest in jobs in Canada.
In the hour that the election was called for Mr Trump, searches on Indeed for jobs in Canada rose to more than ten times the normal level for that time of day.
