Labour Market Information
Labour market information (LMI) is data that reflects what is going on in the labour market. It can help us make informed decisions by providing information about what is going on in the world of work.
Quantitative Data Facts and figures about jobs and employment e.g. how many people are looking for work; how many jobs; salary; hours; trends.
Qualitative Data Insights into what the world of work and specific jobs or industries or types of work are like.
LMI CAN HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OF WORK:
- The kind and number of jobs available (by area/sector)
- The skills and jobs that are (or will be) in demand
- Entry routes, pathways, and progression routes
- The skills and qualifications you might need
- Salaries, earning potential, and prospect of promotion
- Working patterns, hours, employer cultures, equality of opportunity, and more
