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 are 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.
Comprehensive, evidence-based labour market information is available for our Province https://lmi.novascotia.ca
Nova Scotia Works has an online channel to complement its in-person services. The site is a great resource for career planning, articles and labour market information https://novascotiaworks.ca
Use myBlueprint through your school account for a wealth of info on jobs and the people who do them! https://education.myblueprint.ca/ns
