Labor Market Information (LMI) helps businesses identify the availability of skilled labor, wage trends, and employment patterns. This data enables employers to effectively plan their recruitment strategies, compensation packages, and workforce development initiatives. By leveraging LMI, businesses can remain competitive and attract the talent necessary for growth and innovation.
