The Office for National Statistics showed that a total of 301,000 people were unemployed in the region between June and August.
The region’s unemployment rate was 6.6% and saw a fall of 12.5% during the period. The worst area in the UK was the South East which recorded a 9,000 increase in the number of people without a job.
The number of people in work has reached a record 30.7 million following another fall in the jobless total.
