The UK unemployment rate held steady at 5.2% in the three months to January 2026, slightly better than market expectations of 5.3%, but still the highest level since the three months to February 2021. The total number of unemployed people rose by 37,000 on the quarter to 1.869 million, driven by increases among those out of work for 6–12 months and for more than 12 months. On an annual basis, unemployment was up by 323,000.

At the same time, total employment climbed by 84,000 to 34.310 million, lifting the employment rate by 0.2 percentage points to 75.1%. The number of people with second jobs was broadly unchanged at 1.302 million, equivalent to 3.8% of those in employment. The economic inactivity rate declined by 0.3 percentage points to 20.7%, as the number of inactive individuals fell by 99,000 to 8.999 million.
