Fractions of a % out of recession and could easily dip similar amounts next time figures are produced, Compare with the general 2% when things were "ok". Strangely similar to inflation at the time. Currently a stuttering economy running close to no growth at all.

Unemployment is rising:
The UK's unemployment rate has risen again and vacancies are shrinking, according to figures which suggest the country's job market is cooling.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the UK's jobless rate increased to 4.3% between January and March, up from 4.2%.

The number of vacancies also continued to slow meaning more unemployed people are competing for the same jobs.
