The rate remained unchanged at 4.8% on its 11-year lows. While the Average Earnings Index surge to 2.6% which implies an insignificant growth the recent month. However, economists believe that the labour market will take a rest subsequent to the Brexit referendum.

The labor force percentage climb because hardly looked for a job which increases the so-called "economic inactivity", this is the total measure of individuals who does not search a job like students or persons who aren’t able to work due to a long-term sickness. It consists 89.1 million people who are considered economically inactive which is 76,000 higher versus its prior period.
