Labour Market Information
In a nutshell, labour market information tells you about the local or national demand there is for different skills and from different industries. Labour market information tells you:
- Which jobs are likely to be easiest or hardest to find in your area?
- Which are the big employers in different areas and which ones have jobs on offer?
- What skills employers are looking for and which are in short supply?
- How much you can expect to be paid in specific jobs?
- What working conditions are like?
- What qualifications will be most helpful if you want a certain career?
- What the jobs of the future might look like and which jobs might disappear?
All of these factors can help you make a more informed decision about what career path to take. Depending on where you live, and whether you’re willing to move, that might mean you need to adjust your career plans.
