Information about Labour Market - Yr 9 Choices
The Government recognises that there is a significant mismatch between the careers that young people want to pursue and the opportunities available. They hope that you will use Labour Market Information to understand the salaries and promotion opportunities for different jobs, and the volume and location of vacancies across different sectors. This information about career paths and the labour market should be accessed and used to inform the decisions that are being made to select options.
The suggested website to access a range of sources for Labour Market Information is https://www.lmiforall.org.uk/
