Employment rose by 0.3% to 16.86 million, driven by growth in the services sector, particularly accommodation, food and beverage, retail, and transport. Other sectors like manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and mining also saw gains. Youth unemployment (ages 15-24) decreased to 10.2%, and for those aged 15-30, it was 6.2%.
