LONDON--The unemployment rate in the U.K. rose in November to
its highest level in four years as rising coronavirus infections
and government measures to contain them hit economic activity.
The unemployment rate was 5% in the three months through
November, compared with 4.5% in the three months through August.
The unemployment rate was last at 5% in summer 2016.
