The unemployment rate rose by 0.6 percentage point in one month and by 1.2 percentage points in one year.
The number of inactive people decreased significantly, by 59 thousand, as most of those who had previously become unemployed began to actively look for work after the restrictions on personal relationships were lifted.
Of these, 31 thousand have started work, increasing employment levels.
However, a further 28 thousand, despite actively looking for work and being able to start work within 2 weeks, could not find a job, increasing the number of unemployed.
