Previously on "Huge increase in the number of jobs"
The number of people classed as economically inactive, including those on long-term sickness or who have given up looking for a job, was 7.9 million, down by 1,000 over the three months but up by 96,000 compared to last year.
More than one in five working-age people are now economically inactive.
The ONS also disclosed that public sector employment increased by 23,000 in the third quarter of the year to just over six million.
Employment in central government rose by 31,000, mainly because of growth in the NHS.
At least the good old public sector is finding us jobs to do.
