U.K. jobless rate fell to 8.0% in Q2
According to
the Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures, the unemployment rate in the
U.K. fell by 46,000 to 8.0%, or to 2.56 million. The improvement by 0.2% may be
explained by the Olympics, which took place in London. Still, the number of
people, who are working part-time reached a 20-year peak, and added 16,000 to
1.42 million in the second quarter.
