“What is labour market information?"

One way to define labour market information is to describe how it can be used. For example, it can be used by local Nova Scotia communities to entice companies to move to their area, or by the Workers Compensation Board to assist in their management of individual cases.

Job seekers use it to find out where the jobs are, how much they pay, and where to get relevant training. Job seekers can find that information in the Search Job Profiles section.

Employment and guidance counselors use it as a tool to assist clients and making informed career choices.
