The Government's new economic plan says that it will be 2018 before unemployment falls below 10%.
The document, A Strategy for Growth, says unemployment will be 8.1% in the year 2020.
During the boom the number of people out of work was below 5%.
The plan predicts economic growth will reach 2% next year, 2.3% in 2015 and 2.8% in 2015.
It says that the Government will be running a balanced budget in 2018, meaning that will be the first year it will be spending less then it will be taking in by way of taxes.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny said the plan was a "roadmap for the Irish economy".
He added by 2020 that the Government aims to replace "all the jobs lost in the crisis and halve the rate of unemployment".
He said next year would see a very strong push to make the economy more competitive.
He added welfare reforms would be a big focus of 2014.
Mr Kenny said 2014 will be year for jobs, and everything that can be done will be done in the area.
Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore said "there was no question of suddenly loosening the purse strings" simply because the Government hits fiscal targets.
Mr Gilmore says the credit for the bailout exit rests with the Irish people and they should see some payback, though that might not happen immediately.
The Tánaiste said employment can grow over the next six years back to the level of the Celtic Tiger, but said they will be real and sustainable jobs.
He said people currently unemployed need to be in a position to take up those jobs.
He added that Ireland will have to develop trading links with new economies and will need to diversify its export base.
He said the "centre of gravity in world trade is shifting to the east" and said that Ireland has to build its relationships in these places.
