Mexico's unemployment rate rose for the first time in nine months in August, figures from the statistical office INEGI showed Tuesday.

The seasonally adjusted jobless rate edged up to 3.3 percent from 3.2 percent in July. The latest figure was in line with economists expectations.

The increase was the first since November last year, when the jobless rate climbed to 3.7 percent.

On an unadjusted basis, the unemployment rate climbed to a three-month high of 3.53 percent from 3.41 percent in July. Economists had expected 3.42 percent.
