Unemployment rate in Scotland falls to record low as businesses face recruitment challenge

Scotland has seen a new record-low unemployment rate, with a small increase in people in work.

Data from the Office for National Statistics showed 3.1 per cent of people aged 16 and over were out of work from November 2022 to January this year. This is about 88,000 people.

It was down 0.2 per cent on the previous three-month period from August to October last year and was down 0.7 per cent from the year before.
