Unemployment has risen in Wales over the past year - with a hike in the number of young people out of work.
The number of jobless people in Wales is up 2,302 over 12 months, a four per cent increase. It now stands at 62,661 - 4.2% of the working population.
But the figures are more concerning in the 18-24 age group - where there has been a 13% rise in those claiming Jobseekers Allowance.
There are now 11,688 young people out of work, a 1,336 increase over the year.
The number of people employed is at 1.47 million - a rate of 74.1%.
Welsh Government minister for Economy and Transport Ken Skates said: “These figures show that the ongoing economic uncertainty caused by Brexit is having a disproportionately damaging impact for Welsh business.
“The Ƶ Government’s chaotic and irresponsible handling of Brexit continues to push the economy closer to the cliff edge.
“Whilst Downing Street peddles its fantasies around what a low tax, minimal regulation economy could mean for the Ƶ, the Welsh Government will continue to do all we can to protect our businesses and communities.”
The number of Ƶ unemployed increased by 22,000 in the quarter, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Despite the negative statistics, Ƶ Minister for Employment Mims Davies said the figures are a “welcome example of the underlying strength of our economy and world-leading workforce”.
