Labour Market Information

The Ontario Government provides labour market information to help individuals and businesses make informed decisions about careers, education, employment, and business plans.

Labour market information provides valuable insights into labour market conditions and trends in Ontario, as well as in specific regions or communities in the province.

Labour market information helps individuals determine which occupations suit their aptitudes and interests, where the jobs are, and which occupations have the best prospects. It also helps people locate the most appropriate training and educational resources.

Employers benefit from a range of labour market information such as salary surveys, demographic trends, industry statistics and information on workplace innovation for developing business plans and human resource strategies, and for making investment and location decisions.
