This takes the total to 23.08 million throughout the UK at a time when the jobless rate stands at 7.9 per cent.
Meanwhile in the public sector, the number of people in employment fell over the same period by 24,000 to reach 6.16 million.
Dr Neil Bentley, CBI deputy director-general, commented: "The government must do more to prioritise private sector growth, which is the best way to create jobs."
