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