UK jobless rate in further fall
Unemployment claims have fallen for 12 months
The number of unemployed people in the UK fell in the three months to August, according to official figures.
The Office for National Statistics said unemployment dropped by 5,000 in the quarter to August to 1.65 million, continuing the downward trend.
Based on a comparable ILO measure, unemployment fell by 5,000 during the same three-month period.
Meanwhile, average earnings rose by 3.7% during the quarter, beating expectations of a 3.6% rise.
The rise was mainly spurred by increases in private sector services wages, that included bonuses in the financial sector.
Pay rising, no one is unemployed, inflation below government limits, can it get any better than this?
