The Labor Market Information LMI/Research and Statistics Section is the official source for all employment-related data for the state, the metropolitan areas, and the individual counties. The section works directly with the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics to gather core labor market data that are comparable to information gathered nationwide.
Although we are best known for producing the unemployment rates, the scope of our services to employers and job applicants is far reaching. For example, if an employer wishing to expand or start a new business needs information on the available local labor force, including wage rates and skill levels, the LMI Research and Statistics Section can help.
Information that employers and job seekers may find useful includes the following:
