Ahead of the publication of the figures, the TUC released research showing there were now 158,000 fewer people employed than on the eve of the recession in December 2007.
The drop - equivalent to 0.5 per cent of all employment across the country - was not evenly spread with London recording a 3.3 per cent increase, but the West Midlands seeing a 2.8 per cent fall. The North East and South West also fared badly. And without the growth in London, the jobs gap would be almost twice as large.
