LMI sounds like a complex term. There’s a misconception that LMI is all about supply and demand, data analysis, interpretation of graphs, etc.

Quite simply, ‘LMI is information about jobs and people who do those jobs.’

• Working conditions - Monday-Friday, shift work, indoor/outdoor, seasonal, part-time/full-time, typical day, duties, etc.
• Educational Requirements- High School, college diploma, degree, work experience
• Education costs - How much does the program cost? What salary can they expect to earn? And will the cost of education be repayable with the earning potential they will have with the education? 
• Job openings.
