Labour Market Information

What is labour market information?

Labour market information (LMI) focuses on giving you key information about the local area you live in, such as:

  • wage rates
  • job availability
  • skills gaps
  • unemployment rates
  • reports from professional bodies
  • economic summaries and future prospects

Labour market information ensures that young people are equipped with the information they need to make well-informed, realistic decisions.
