UK Unemployment Unexpectedly Falls Ahead Of Govt Budget
Britain's unemployment rate fell unexpectedly to 4.7 percent in the three months to end of August, its lowest since the three months to end-July 2025, beating analysts' forecast of steady 4.9 percent. This provides welcome news for Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Labour government ahead of the October 28 budget, though rising youth unemployment with around one million 16- to 24-year-olds not in employment, education or training remains a key concern.
