The number of people unemployed in the UK fell by 34,000 to 2.47m in the three months to May, official figures show.



Meanwhile, those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance fell in June by 20,800 to 1.46m, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.



That took the jobless rate to 7.8%, the lowest since January and below forecasts of about 7.9%.



The number of people in work rose by 160,000 in the three months to May, the biggest rise since August 2006.
