Unemployment rate dips as pay growth slows
The rate of unemployment has fallen slightly and pay growth has slowed, the latest official figures show.
The jobless rate fell to 4% between June and August, down from the previous figure of 4.1%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Regular pay, excluding bonuses, grew at an annual pace of 4.9% between June and August.
While that marked a slowdown in pay growth, wages are still rising faster than inflation.
