| Labor Market Information (LMI) Analysis Identifies industry sectors best suited to a local community’s available workforce, and what training might be required to attract potential employers. The LMI analysis examines the experience and skills of a local workforce, and relates those to existing local industrial skill needs. This helps communities identify the industry sectors best suited to their workforce, and also what training may be needed to attract employers. The LMI includes data on the labor force, employment and unemployment, industrial growth, occupational trends, and wage rates. |
