Labor market information deals with the demand for and supply of labor.  It includes employment rates, wage rates and fringe benefits.  It is a powerful tool that can help you make informed decisions about your career path by allowing you see an overall picture of an occupation on a local, national and/or international level. Labor market information can show you the opportunities for employment in a given field, average salary for people employed in an occupation and the average working conditions. It also allows you to weigh the benefits and pitfalls of staying in your current field or making a change.
