"Jobless rate inched up 0.1 percentage points."
"Jobless rate inched up 0.1 percentage points."
Here is "inched up" one verbal phrase or is "up" a preposition like She climbed up the flight of steps or is by omitted like Unemployment rose (by) 3%?
"Jobless rate inched up by 0.1 percentage points."
What do you native English speakers think? And shouldn't points be point with 0.1?
Thank you so much in advance.

- Hi, Unfortunately I am not a native speaker as you specifically requested.
- I can however give you a rule of thumb to help you distinguish between a phrasal verb and a prepositional verb – or at any rate, that's what I think you're referring to.
- With phrasal verbs , the particle can either follow directly after the main verb or follow the object.
