The Island's unemployment rate has gone up

An extra 60 people were registered unemployed during December than in the previous month, yet over the year the figure was down by a total of 83.

Figures released by the Treasury show the total unemployment remained at 1.9% with men making up over 2/3 of those signing on.

However at the end of last month there were 142 positions still vacant at the Island's job centre.
