Hi,
my name is Selena,
and I’m a Service Canada employee.

So, what can labour market information
do for you?

…In short,
it can help you
make better decisions
about your job
and your work life. Want to know how?

(Medium shot of Host. Stick person walks in, points to words “Education Requirements”, “Main Duties”, Wage Rages”, Current Outlook” as they appear on screen.)

…Well,
it can provide you with information
on things such as:

what kind of education you’ll
need to get
a specific job;

what the main duties of that job are;

how much money
you could make
if you had that job;

and whether there
are any jobs like it available right now
in the job market.

(Tight shot of the Host.)

…Let me tell you,
these are all good things to know before you apply for any job
or train for a career.

…It’s also good
to know the economic situation in your community—
or in any community
in Canada
where you might
be interested
in looking for a job.

…For example,
you can look up their unemployment rate, their local supply
and demand of
skilled workers,
and the age, gender, and educational level of their work force.

…And it doesn’t
stop there.
You can also

on what training
you might need
for a specific job,
and in which part
of the country
you’re most likely
to find that job.

…Labour market information is one
of the most effective tools you can use
to find a job.
It’ll help you make
the most informed decision about jobs and training
that interest you.
