U.K's unemployment rate lowest since 2008
The newest data released by the International Labour Organization revealed that the unemployment rate in the U.K. has fallen to 6.2%, dropping from 6.4%, surpassing the economists' forecasts of 6.3%. While this points towards the strengthening of the British economy, the wages are trailing behind, with just 0.7% pay raise. BoE's governor Mark Carney predicted that the wages are set to improve with the continued growth of the economy.
