Data from the Office For National statistics reveals the figure is up 0.9% on the previous three months.
Scotland's unemployment rate rose to 4% in the three months to June, according to latest figures.
While Tuesday's data showed a rise in the unemployment rate in Scotland compared with the previous quarter, the proportion of people who were out of work was lower than the national UK figure. He added: "The Scottish government is committed to supporting more people into work - including those with a disability, health conditions and caring responsibilities - through employability and skills support, as well as improved access to flexible working."
Scotland's unemployment rate remains low by past standards. Even after rising from 3.1% to 4%, it is still lower than the UK figure. But a sharp deterioration in the second quarter of the year is a warning light on the economic dashboard.With the number of Scots seeking work rising, the other key numbers also point in the wrong direction. The number of Scots in work dropped at an unexpectedly steep rate, by more than 1.1 percentage points.
The UK figure points to long-term illness being at its highest level since the ONS started using this measure. The sample size in this survey does not give us sufficiently reliable data to make the same conclusions about Scotland, but it's hard to think of a reason why it would be significantly different.
