LONDON, Oct (KOSDAQ: 039200.KQ - news) 16 (Reuters) - Britain's unemployment rate held steady in the three months to August but the sharpest fall in more than 16 years in the number of people claiming jobless benefits showed the labour market was continuing to heal.
Unemployment was 7.7 percent in the June-August period, unchanged from May-July, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday.



The percentage of people aged 16-64 who are in work rose to 71.7 percent, the highest since the three months to February 2009, the ONS said.
