Unemployment in the North has fallen, figures released yesterday show.
The number of people out of work fell by 200 last month and now stands at 51,000, or 6.8 per cent of the workforce. Welcoming the fall, the Economy Minister, Mr Adam Ingram, said: "Northern Ireland has been faring better than other regions in the UK." However, he sounded a note of caution over a fall in manufacturing output.
