Labour Market Information (LMI) can be used by people from all areas of society in making informed decisions about the local labour market. It can be used to give you an overall image of work in the past, present and how things might be in the future. It can help you to make decisions about possible training you might need and understand which skills might be needed for certain roles.
LMI looks at trends and averages. It can tell you:
• What jobs there are in your area
• Whether the need for a particular job is growing or declining, though this information can be a national rather than local figure.
• What jobs there are in your local area or county
• The average pay you would get for that job, though you would need to remember that there are people in that role who are paid more and others paid considerably less.
Here are the latest figures for Dartford, Gravesham and Kent.
