What are Labour Market Insights?

Created by Amanda Watts, Modified on Thu, 14 Nov, 2024 at 12:21 AM by Amanda Watts

Labour Market Insights (LMI) represents data pulled from several different sources to provide information about a job/career! You can watch for trends and changes and identify jobs in demand in different geographic locations across Australia.


Based on your current location, a default city or location is populated based on the job selected using Career Path Explorer. With LMI, you can see localised data for the:

  • The Top 5 Related Job Titles - in demand in your area with overlapping Key Skills
  • Who’s hiring - view job postings from companies hiring in your area
  • Salary  - see what the expected salary would be in this career path
  • Job Demand and Job Postings - watch these statistics to see trends for jobs in demand in your career path


What is referred to by "Nearby Area"?


By searching for a different location, you can see the same information for a different region (in Australia). By toggling between the city and the Nearby Area (or ~100 kilometres), you can see differences in job availability, demand and the top 5 job titles for each area. The Nearby Area uses the Lightcast taxonomy for locations. If you're near an economic centre, you'll see a "Nearby Area" which refers to the metro area in the Lightcast taxonomy.
