LMI Tuesdays

LMI Tuesday is a 30-minute discussion of Labor Market Information (LMI) and how to use it in your work. Each session is led by analysts from NC Commerce's Labor and Economic Analysis Division (LEAD) online via MS TEAMS starting at 11:30am. Attendee questions on the session or any LMI-related topics are encouraged.  No registration is required. 

It's about helping people understand labor market information and how it can be used in their work. With each session, we hope to remove the mystery around data, how it can be used and where to access it. Whether you join to listen to the presentation, or want to ask a question you are welcome.

The next LMI Tuesday session will be on held Tuesday, June 23 where LEAD staff will review the May statewide employment release and explore what the data tell us about the effectiveness of work-based learning programs in North Carolina.

Join via Microsoft Teams | Sessions start at 11:30 a.m.
