10. Labour Insight pros and cons
•Very useful to be able to compare data from different time
periods to show changes and trends
•Helps us to provide local LMI down to LA level which is
what advisers want
•Also useful for sub-regions as can support local LEPs and
other sources of data
•Skills data helpful for advisers and clients when thinking of
additional training or education
•Useful Active Informatics e-newsletter gives ideas for different
ways of using data and new developments
•Only shows jobs advertised online, not by other means
•Some anomalies encountered with geography, ie an area of
Barnsley, South Yorkshire called St Helens, confused with St
Helens in Lancashire, but quickly dealt with by LI team
•Concern re reliability of some reports, as high number of
agency vacancies that don’t list employers or industry
