UK unemployment is at an 11-year low.
In the first jobs figures entirely from the post-Brexit period, the Office for National Statistics reported that unemployment fell by 37,000, to 1.6 million, in the three months to September.
The jobless rate fell to 4.8% in the period, while the number of people in work went up by 49,000.
To discuss the figures in more detail, Simon spoke to John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC.
