Information on the regional and local areas of employment

Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) is data taken directly from employers to reveal what skills are most in-demand in the workplace, which occupations are becoming less in demand, the overall condition of the workplace, and other vital information. That data is then analysed and interpreted before being presented to the public in a variety of forms.

Organisations such as D2N2 use LMI to help education providers offer the right courses to learners that teach the skills employers need, to help learners decide what employment roles they’d like to move into via careers advice, and to highlight to the government what trends are affecting the workplace such as automation.
