BBC- UK unemployment fell by just 4,000 in the three
months to June leaving 2.51 million out of work, according to the Office
for National Statistics (ONS).
The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in July fell more sharply, down by 29,000 to 1.4 million.
The unemployment rate remains at 7.8%, still well above the 7% rate target set by the Bank of England.
The Bank's governor, Mark Carney, says interest rates are unlikely to rise before that target is reached.
