UK unemployment has fallen to its lowest rate since July 2008, official figures have shown.
The number of jobless people dropped by 76,000 to 1.84 million in the three months to February, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.
That means the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.6%, in line with forecasts.
The rate is 1.3 percentage points lower than the same time in 2014 and is down from 7.9% at the time of the last election in 2010.
The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in March fell by 20,700 to 772,400, the ONS said.
Samuel Tombs, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, said the UK's "employment miracle shows no signs of drawing to a close" and expected the jobless rate to continue falling further in the coming months.

They'll probably dither about it for far too long, allow costs to escalate and we'll wind up getting the Trident equivalent of our Aircraft Carrier 'solution'.
