Labour Market Information

Understanding the labour market is critical when conducting a job search or considering a new career. Through our services, we help people find the information they need, at both a local, provincial and national level.

Labour Market Planning

Review labour market information prepared for employers, job seekers and organizations that use labour market data for strategic planning purposes. The Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark provides the annual labour market report which outlines trends in the local labour force using statistical data from several sources, as well an intelligence gathered from local employers and employment agencies.
