Labour Market Information
Labour Market Information (LMI) is information about what is happening in a labour market. LMI tends to focus on the industries that are growing and declining. It provides information about the types and levels of jobs and the skills required and whether they are increasing or decreasing. LMI is used to enable people to make decisions about education, jobs or training. LMI will impact which career, training, skills or education you wish to take. It is all in the information and the planning.
