Labour Market Information

Labour market information and statistics can help you plan your career. Learn more about work trends and the skills, education and training you need for jobs today, and in the future.

National Labour Market Information

If you’re thinking about work that may take you across the country, and you’re wondering how work opportunities measure up in different regions of Canada, you would do well to look at a couple of the following resources and analyze data that deals with our nation as a whole.

Provincial Labour Market Information

You may want to know how BC is doing as a whole, and you may also want to know how different regions of the province are faring in comparison to each other. In either case, the following are excellent sources of provincial LMI.

  • WorkBC - Look in particular under the “Labour Market and Industry” section, and you’ll see subsections that detail labour market trends, future projections, and wage and salary information.

  • BC Stats - Employment & Labour Market

Local Labour Market Information

Wouldn’t it be great if every city in Canada had its own LMI publication that told us how your town was faring in the labour scene? Unfortunately, few such publications exist, whether in print or online. Check with the Employment Facilitators at Camosun for this information.
