UK unemployment fell by 121,000 to 2.12 million in the three months to May, official figures show.
The figure is the lowest level in nearly six years, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The rate of unemployment also fell again, to 6.5% from 6.6% in the three months to April.
The number of people claiming jobseeker’s allowance last month fell by 36,300 to 1.04 million, the ONS added.
The latest figures also show that more than 78% of men and 68% of women are in work, giving an employment rate of 73.1%.
Prime Minister David Cameron said this was now equal to the record rate of employment set in 2005.
“Today’s figures show more people have the security of a job than ever before. Full employment is a key aim of our long-term economic plan,” he said.
