unemployment statistics

While the BBC is reporting that the number of unemployed has risen this month the Deputy Prime Minister said today during PMQs
"today is the day when we've seen employment rise, we've seen the number of people in work increasing"
How can that be? Employment and unemployment both rising at the same time?

It can make sense but only if the population has gone up.
