According to Jinshi, the unemployment rate in the UK unexpectedly rose to its highest level in more than two and a half years, and wage growth remained at a high level, complicating the Bank of England's decision on when to cut interest rates. The UK National Statistics Office said on Tuesday that the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% in the three months to April, the highest level since mid-2021. Regular wage growth remained at 6%, rather than the 6.1% expected by economists.
