Unemployment in the Isle of Man has gone back up over 1,000.

The jobless total rose by 25 to 1,017 last month, which equates to an unemployment rate of 2.3%.

A comment from Treasury's Economic Affairs Division, which accompanies the data, says there were increases in the number of individuals having left or lost jobs in retailing and

catering.

It adds that the rise was also down to students returning to the Island after term end and signing on.
