Seco says the rise is mainly seasonal, with only a modest increase once adjusted for the time of year.
The number of jobseekers climbed to almost 220,000, pushing the rate up to 4.7 percent.
Meanwhile, vacancies reported to regional job centres dropped sharply - down more than six percent to around 35,000.
