The fall sees the unemployment rate drop to 6%, which is the lowest rate it has been for six years. Average earnings increased by 1.4% across the same period.
Work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan-Smith welcomed the figures and highlighted the fact that "two-thirds of the jobs created have been managerial and professional".
Totaljobs.com website director Ian Burke said that although unemployment continues to fall, it is "at a slower pace than we've become accustomed to".
"While the ONS data shows the number of people in work has risen, the figures are likely to be driven in part by an increase in short-term and insecure work over the festive season," he warned.
