Labour Market Information (LMI)
WHAT IS: - Labour Market Information is data about the world of work, including:
Job availability: Which jobs are growing or shrinking.
Skills in demand: What employers are looking for in candidates.
Salaries and benefits: Typical earnings for different careers.
Future opportunities: Sectors likely to expand or offer long-term career paths.
Why it’s useful for pupils and parents:
Helps link subject choices to careers that are in demand.
Guides decisions about further education, apprenticeships, or training.
Gives a clear view of the skills and qualifications needed for future jobs.
Supports planning for a career that is both interesting and sustainable.
In the Black Country, employment levels are generally slightly below regional and national averages, with a higher rate of unemployment and a workforce still heavily represented in manufacturing, retail, health and social care. Understanding this local labour market information can help pupils and parents see which industries are strong in our area and where future job opportunities may be available.
