About a quarter of the working age population - those aged 16 to 64 - do not currently have a job.

The number of people out of work fell in the past three months but is still higher than last year.

But there are still 19,000 more people unemployed in Wales than at the start of the pandemic.

The government defends its programme which aims to get young people into work.

Wales saw the largest increase in the numbers of those working of all the UK nations and regions.

The jobs market is showing "early signs of recovery" as unemployment rate falls, official figures show.

There were 109,000 more jobless older workers between December and February than a year ago, a report says.

A union representing job centre staff says three in five feel unsafe interacting with the public.
