Comment:
The number of people claiming jobless benefits fell by 20,000 in June, less than expected, while average earnings growth slowed and fell further behind inflation, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday. On a more positive note, the ONS said the number of people in employment over the three-month period through May rose by 296,000, a sharp increase from 177,000 in the three months through April, and the sharpest quarterly increase in over four years. Average earnings including bonuses rose by 6.2% on the year in the three months through May, while earnings excluding bonuses rose by a gentler 4.3%. In both cases, growth was slower from a month earlier, leaving earnings further below an annual inflation rate currently running at a 30-year high of 9.1%.
