There are two components to the labour market; Supply and Demand, also referred to as Job Seekers and Employers. Labour market information is defined as information concerning the size and composition of the labour market, how the two components function, and the issues and opportunities available to both.

 Labour market information or LMI is valuable information for the job seeker’s decision making process. It provides information about the job in which you are interested or currently working. It includes information on educational requirements, wage rate, duties, and the pool of workers available, employment trends and outlook.

LMI also includes industrial information. This includes types of industries, or industry sectors, the employers in each of these sectors, number and types of jobs available, as well as the skills required. In summary it can provide a snapshot of the economic environment.

LMI is not limited to occupational and industrial information. LMI can be used to forecast a community’s well being. Data such as age, gender, education and skill level of the community, employment rates, labour pool and the demand for skilled workers are all helpful in planning and maintaining a healthy community.

In summary labour market information helps us to identify changes and trends that affect our lives in the world we work in. It assists in looking for a career or potential job change. It assists employers to remain competitive and it also assists communities to plan for adequate infrastructure.
