Introduction to Labor Market Information (LMI)Trends, Tools and Resources

What is Labor Market Information? Interaction between individuals competing for
jobs and employers competing for workers, usually in a particular geographic region.
Describes how a particular labor market is functioning: What jobs are available? People with requisite skills/experience to fill those
jobs?
![Page 3: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Should We Care About LMI? Helps staff and job seekers make better
decisions about career preparation.
Helps job seekers and job developers identify industries/occupations to target in the job search.
Job developers need to become “industry experts” in order to work effectively with employers.

“Just-in-Time” scheduling software
Artificial intelligence

The “Internet of Things”

Global Labor MarketCompanies moving jobs to where labor is
cheapest.
Average Chinese factory workers works 12 hours/day and makes $1.36/hour.
Between 2000 and 2005, 150 million educated workers joined global workforce—same as entire US workforce.

ImplicationsFor Career Planning and Job Search
![Page 14: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Traditional View of LMI Industries/occupations are reasonably linear,
stable and predictable
Pace of change is slow, so we can anticipate and respond to changes
We can predict: Available work Required skills Career paths
Focus on FT, permanent jobs
![Page 15: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Traditional LMI QuestionsDemand
Wages
Working Conditions
Preparation
Advancement
![Page 16: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
New Normal for LMI Industries/occupations are more chaotic, less
linear and stable.
Pace of change is rapid—requires ongoing learning and re-tooling.
More focus on demand “skills,” rather than demand occupations
Career lattices rather than career ladders/paths
“Advancement” through lateral moves, skill development and new combos of skills
Micro-enterprise opportunities
![Page 17: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
New LMI Questions
How will technology impact this occupation? Automate the job? Change skill requirements? Make it cheaper to outsource to another country?
What skills are in demand?
How can skills be re-combined to add new value?
How do I keep learning and adapting to stay ahead of changes?
How can I create multiple income streams?
![Page 18: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Understand Jobs DifferentlyFungible Jobs
Anchored Jobs
Value-Add Jobs
![Page 19: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fungible JobsEasily digitized
Don’t require face-to-face interaction or human intervention
Rely on “rules” and minimal independent decision-making
Can be partially or completely automated through smart systems, RFID technology, artificial intelligence etc.
![Page 20: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fungible jobs will be. . . Automated
Self-service
Outsourced to a country where labor is cheaper
![Page 21: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Anchored JobsMust be performed in particular geographic
location
Anchored 1—Low skill/low wage Bus driver Daycare worker
Anchored 2—Higher skill/higher wage Nurse
There can be fungible parts of anchored jobs!
![Page 22: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“Value-Add” JobsDepth/breadth of skill—Super Generalists and
Super Specialists
Constant change
High levels of interaction, creativity and non-rules-based decision-making.
High technological proficiency
![Page 23: Understanding and Using Labor Market Information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/542114cb7bef0a060c8b4661/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Career Planning for the New Normal Evaluate occupations and
industries for “fungibility.”
Monitor impact of technology and other workplace trends.
Prepare for Anchored Tier 2 and Value-Add Jobs
Focus on developing “value-add” skills and experiences.
Think “multiple income streams”
Think ongoing career planning and life-long employability.
