Moreover, this was the highest unemployment rate since June 2017, when it was 7.4 percent.

In the corresponding month last year, the unemployment rate was 7.3 percent.

The number of unemployed people rose to 376,000 in January from 321,000 in the previous month.

At the same time, the employment rate fell to 66.8 percent in January from 67.3 percent in the preceding month.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the jobless rate remained unchanged at 6.5 percent in January.
