Job Opportunities and Labor Market info

Labour Market Information & Insights

Labour Market Information is information about jobs and the people who do them. We gather labour market information as we consider our career options. Some ways you can gather information is by talking to people about the jobs they do, referring to reliable sources (like the ones below) for statistics and trends and, researching what the future outlooks are for different fields and different areas in the province.  

Nova Scotia Works online- is a great source for career planning tools and 

connection to the free services of Nova Scotia Works Service Centres across the province. 

     The new site LMI.novascotia.ca presents the latest statistics, regional information, 

skills in demand, resources for education and more!

The Department of Labour, Skills, and Immigration is pleased to share September’s edition of the LMI News.
