Steven Tobin, Labour Market Information Council in Canada, Executive Director

• The LMIC’s mandate is to improve the timeliness, reliability and accessibility of labor market information to improve decision-making by employers, workers, jobseekers, academics, educators, career practitioners, students, parents and under-represented populations.• Information includes not just wages, but also market skills requirements, and current and future job openings.• Education still matters, but we need to do a better job at specifying the skills associated with jobs. 30% of Canadians have an education greater than what is typically required of the job they hold.
