The Office for National Statistics reported on Tuesday that the UK ILO unemployment rate remained at 4.9% in the three months to June. That was unchanged from the previous reading but slightly above the market consensus of 4.8%.
The data suggests the labour market stayed softer than expected, even though the headline rate did not deteriorate from the prior period.
