Labour Market Information (LMI)

Labour Market Information (LMI) is a useful tool to help research future jobs in the local area, understand the skills needed for certain roles and the demand for future employment.

LMI helps to break down the ‘world of work’– ranging from descriptions of different careers, their entry routes, promotional prospects, salaries paid, skills and qualifications needed

Most importantly for young people, LMI also covers future demand – what kinds of jobs will be in demand in the future after leaving school and what kinds of skills will be needed.

The National Careers Service has produced a video to explain Labour Market Information

Careerometer can be used to explore and compare key information about a range of different occupations. It provides access to a selection of UK headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects for different occupations, as well as description of the occupation.
