Unemployment on the Isle of Man is at its lowest level since the end of 2008.

At the end of May, 792 people, or 1.9% of the economically active population, were out of of work.

That's a fall of 75 people over one month.

It's the fourth consecutive month that unemployment has fallen.

The Treasury says it's the sharpest fall over these months since 1997.
