Local Labour Market Information

What is it?
Local Labour Market Information is research and data about the labour force and the economy, focusing on the Grand Erie communities we serve. LLMI includes face-to-face research with companies and people, along with statistical data, often using Statistics Canada information.

Why is it important?
Having fact-based research about local trends allows the Workforce Planning Board to identify labour force issues and problems in our community. Then we work with community partners to look at ways to address and solve those issues.
