New figures from the Central Statistics Office show that the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% in August from a rate of 4.7% in July.
The CSO said the seasonally adjusted number of people who were without a job fell to 124,600 in August from 134,400 in July.
There was an increase of 3,600 in the seasonally adjusted number of people unemployed in August compared to a year earlier, it added.
Today's CSO figures show the monthly unemployment rate in August for men was 4.3%, down from a revised rate of 4.6% in July of this year and down from a rate of 4.5% in August of last year.
The jobless rate for women was 4.3% in August, down from the revised rate of 4.7% in July but up from a revised rate of 4.2% in August 2023.
Today's figures also show that the monthly youth unemployment rate fell to 10.7% in August, from a revised rate of 11.5% in July.
Jack Kennedy, senior economist at hiring platform Indeed, said the jobs market remains robust as the Irish economy continues to perform strongly amid signs of easing inflation and positive economic data.
"While job postings have continued to gradually normalise from post-pandemic peaks, they remain at a solid level and the labour market remains tight," he said.
The economist said that job postings in August on Indeed were 14% above pre-pandemic levels recorded on February 1, 2020. This compares to 45% on the same date in August 2023.
He also said the increase in female workers has been part explained by the increase in remote and flexible working arrangements.
"Amid ongoing low unemployment, this should be kept front of mind as employers continue to discuss the merits of remote and flexible working and certain companies push for employees to return to the office more," Mr Kennedy said.
He said that recent research, carried out by Censuswide for Indeed, found that employers are failing to meet parent and carer expectations when it comes to flexible working options.
While 71% of all respondents said that access to flexible working arrangements were of great importance to them, 49% said that their employers offer flexible working.
"The findings show that as the labour market remains tight there may be an opportunity for those employers still able and willing to offer remote and flexible working arrangements to more easily attract and retain talent," he added.
