Unemployment rose in July

Unemployment rose in July - but the government insists it's still lower than it was this time last year.

The latest monthly statistics from the Cabinet Office show 321 people were looking for jobs at the end of last month, a rise of 8 people.

It means the Island has an unemployment rate of just 0.8 per cent.

However, the government says the figure has decreased by 99 people compared to July 2017.
