LMI

Labour Market Information

Here at Garforth Academy, we work closely with the Careers & Enterprise Company who regularly update us with current labour market information (LMI). Labour market information can help students and parents understand the job market and find out which careers, different qualifications can lead to. 

The LMI data helps to:

  • show which work opportunities are increasing or decreasing
  • what occupations exist within Leeds and West Yorkshire
  • understand the skills needed for certain roles
  • shows the demand for future employment

The following LMI is the most up to date information for the local Leeds area.
