  11. Unemployment rise in Oxfordshirepublished at 13:06 British Summer Time 16 October 2018

    Unemployment continues to rise in Oxfordshire, although the increase is slowing down.

    New figures out this morning from the Office for National Statistics - show the number of people out of work went up by 2.4% last month, with 4,920 people claiming unemployment benefit.

    The figure is at its highest in more than three years and has increased by almost 80% since 2016.

    The ONS says under Universal Credit a broader span of claimants are required to look for work than under Jobseekers Allowance, so the number of people recorded as claiming is likely to rise.
