UK unemployment falls as economy adds workers
UK unemployment fell as the economy added workers at the fastest pace for 21 years, indicating a recovery in the labor market just as the government prepares to enact the deepest spending cuts since World War II. Unemployment as measured by International Labour Organization methods declined 49,000 to 2.46 million in the quarter through June, the biggest drop since 2007, the Office for National Statistics said today in London.
UK unemployment has fallen for the first time since the autumn with number of people looking for work declining by 17,000.
