SCOTLAND'S unemployment rate has fallen to 3.8%, the latest figures show.
The jobless rate dropped 0.2 percentage points in the period May to July, from 4% in the previous three months.
The figure is also down from 4.7% in the same period last year.
Official figures show that for those aged 16 and over, unemployment fell by 4,000 to 106,000 - while the number of people in work increased by 49,000.
Over the same period, the UK unemployment rate also fell 0.2 percentage points to 4.3%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Grahame Smith, general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress, said: "More positive news on unemployment should not be allowed to distract from the difficult conversations we need to have about our labour market.
"Real wages are consistently down, falling by 0.4% this quarter, and households across the country are feeling the pinch.
"Both the UK and Scottish Governments need to focus on putting money back in the pocket of workers, and the wider picture for the economy looks bleak if we continue downwards in this low pay, low growth, high debt economy."
The Scottish Government highlighted that for those aged 16-64, the employment rate reached a new high of 75.8% between May and July, the highest of any UK nation.
Employability Minister Jamie Hepburn said: "These are the latest encouraging figures for Scotland's economy and labour market - employment has never been higher and unemployment has never been lower.
"There are now 109,000 more people in employment compared to the pre-recession peak and Scotland now has the highest employment rate in the UK.
"Our unemployment rate remains a success story, showing that the labour market remains resilient and robust.
"With the most recent GDP figures showing the Scottish economy grew nearly four times that of the UK in the first quarter of this year, today's labour market figures are further proof that the fundamentals of Scotland's economy remain strong, despite the challenges posed by Brexit."
Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "It is very encouraging that Scotland's employment has reached a record high and that unemployment remains at a historic low. More people in work means more money in people's pockets and that's good news."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
