Number of workers at all-time high

The number of people in work has reached a record high of almost 30 million after a new fall in unemployment.

Just under 2.5 million people were out of work in the three months to August, down by 18,000 on the previous three months, while figures showed the biggest monthly fall in jobseeker's allowance claimants for 16 years.
