There was also an increase in the six- to 12-month unemployment figure, but a drop in the number of people out of work for more than a year. "However, unemployment rose, driven by more young people who have only recently become unemployed, meaning overall there was a small increase in people actively engaged in the jobs market, whether working or looking for work.
Minister for Employment, Guy Opperman, said: “It is positive to see more people moving into jobs or taking steps to search for work. Jonathan Ashworth MP, Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary, said of the last unemployment figures:"Today's figures show the Tories are totally bereft of ideas when it comes to tackling the cost-of-living crisis, growing the economy and supporting people into work.
“With over 1.16 million job vacancies, businesses are still experiencing a relentlessly tight labour market. If firms can’t hire the staff to fulfil their order books, any room for growth is extremely limited.
