What is Labour Market Information ?
Labour Market Information (LMI) comes from a range of sources and includes information on general employment trends such as entry routes to different careers, promotional prospects, salaries paid, skills and qualifications needed, etc. It also indicates future employment demands and skills gaps.
What can LMI do for you?
It provides you with the information you will need to help make decisions about any career you are researching. Using LMI will save you time and energy when looking for work. For example, LMI can tell you if an industry has little or no demand for employees.
LMI can guide your search by telling you:
the jobs and skills employers are seeking
the industries that have excess workers, are hiring or experiencing a shortage of workers
in which cities and communities employers are hiring
the working conditions for specific industries
the education and training needed for specific jobs
the factors that may prevent you from getting a job
the job areas that are projected to increase/decrease in the future
the expected salary for a particular occupation
