​Here is a topic update video on the latest UK unemployment figures (November 2017) focusing on three data charts - unemployment, employment and economic inactivity.

The UK unemployment rate for July to September 2017 was 4.3% – the joint lowest rate since 1975. And the employment rate is also at the highest level since the early 1980s. 
​But economic inactivity has actually risen in recent months. Just under 9 million people in the UK are of working age but do not have a job or are actively seeking or available to find work.
