Labor market information can be thought of as everything we know about where people work, who they work for, what they do and how much they earn. This information is the basis for helping students, career explorers, job seekers, and employers make informed career and business planning decisions. Labor market information also helps separate personal perception from data-supported facts.
- You can find updated wage information, projections about job growth in certain industries and occupations, educational requirements and more information on the Explore Careers pages here on CareerForce.MN.gov.
- Current job openings are linked from each Explore Careers page – for example you can find a link to current job openings for Registered Nurses throughout Minnesota from the Registered Nurses Explore Careers page.
We get labor market information from employers and households that are either required (or asked) to supply information to the government or to participate in surveys. Every state has a Labor Market Information Office that works with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics to produce a core set of information about the economy using strong statistical standards.
Minnesota’s Labor Market Information Office is housed at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). You can find more detailed labor market information at the state, regional and county level on the DEED website.
We want to help you find the labor market information you need to make good career and business decisions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, we invite you to contact us.
