The Office for National Statistics has said 115,000 people found work between July and September, leaving the jobless rate at 6 per cent.
James Carne who works at CAP Job Clubs UK believes churches have an obligation to continue to help those finding it hard to get work, speaking on Premier's 'News Hour', he said: "There is still a big gap in terms of opportunities or help for people who are seeking work. We are still seeing 1.96 million people unemployed in society today, so there are massive challenges still; despite the fact that we are seeing numbers falling."
Wages are also now rising at a stronger pace than inflation for the first time since 2009, easing the squeeze on household budgets.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney says he expects real terms wage growth to rise from 0 to about 2 per cent by the end of next year.
