Key Approaches to Labor Market Assessment
Workforce Connections has gathered and reviewed existing labor market assessment approaches and related tools from across the workforce and youth landscapes to develop a core suite of tools that can be used to conduct a labor market assessment (LMA). With this document, we aim to share back to the workforce development community of practice the distillation of our knowledge and experience in an accessible, practical, and actionable format. These approaches balance quantitative and qualitative research; focus on the supply, demand, and matching of labor; are participatory; and can be customized and to local contexts and priorities.
