The data displays the unemployment rate in the UK from 2007 to 2017. The rate increased by 4.32 percentage points in 2017.
Unemployment and the economy of the UK
The global financial crisis of 2008 left many nations with high inflation and increasing unemployment rates. The UK, however, has attempted and successfully lowered the unemployment rate since 2009. The UK is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Council of Europe, the G7, the G8, the G20, NATO, and World Trade Organization. It is therefore one of the largest and most important economic powers in the world.
