Scotland’s employment rate has reached a new high, despite the latest figures showing a small rise in the number of people who are out of work.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed 76.1% of people aged 16 to 64 were in work from September to November 2022.
That compares to 75.9% recorded over the three months from August to October, which had been the joint highest since the labour force survey series began in 1992.
