What is Labour Market Information?

Labour Market Information, or LMI, is good quality information about what is happening now, and is expected to happen in the future, in the local, regional and national job market. LMI is important information that can help you make good decisions, and have realistic expectations, about your future learning and career choices.

What can Labour Market Information tell us?

• What jobs exist and where they are located
• Which jobs are growing and which jobs are declining
• The skills and qualifications that employers require for a particular job
• The number of jobs in different sectors and any changes that might affect this in the future
• The hours of work and pay that you are likely to earn
• The entry routes into different careers and employment sectors
