Britain's unemployment rate unexpectedly rose and vacancies fell for a fifth report in a row as employers worried about the outlook for the economy, official data showed, ahead of a tough government budget plan later this week

But pay growth stayed strong, with the increase in basic pay hitting a record high excluding the pandemic period, keeping pressure on the Bank of England to continue raising borrowing costs despite the economic slowdown.

The number of job vacancies in the August-to-October period fell to 1.23 million, its lowest since late 2021. The BoE fears that Britain's shrinking labour market will add to inflation pressures, forcing it to keep on raising rates even as the economy heads into an expected recession. Wages are rising by far less than inflation which is expected to have hit 10.7% in data due on Wednesday, hitting the spending power of British households.
