What is Labor Market Information and How can It Help Me?

Labor Market Information (LMI) is a term that describes employment trends and information. For example, LMI can tell you which types of companies or what types of jobs are expected to add many more jobs than the average employer in the next few years. LMI can tell about what local employers are paying for entry-level or mid-level employees. LMI can help you find out what skills are necessary for your next career and where you can find training to equip you with those skills.
