British jobless claims unexpectedly dropped in October, while the number of employed people in the three months to September rose sharply, suggesting that the labor market conditions are improving.

Economists had forecast an increase of 6,000 following September’s revised 1,300 rise. The claimant count rate continued to stay at 4.5% for a fifth straight month.
The total number of unemployed people fell by 9,000 to 2.45 million in the three months to September. During the same period, the broad ILO jobless rate was 7.7%. The number of unemployed males dropped 40,000 to 1.43 million but the number of unemployed women increased by 31,000 to 1.02 million, the highest figure since 1988.
