Strengthening the LMI Connection Through Supporting Organizations
Workforce development professionals understand the importance of applying data to their work, but do not always know where to turn to obtain data to answer the questions they seek to answer. National groups focusing on the development and application of labor market information (LMI) afford workforce development professionals opportunities to increase their understanding of these data. This session will focus on the efforts of two entities: LMI Institute and Workforce Information Council. LMI Institute is a national network comprised of state labor market information agencies supporting and promoting the production and use of high-quality workforce and employment information. The Workforce Information Council helps guide the development and improvement of the nationwide workforce and labor market information system.

Strong competition undoubtedly contributes to a country’s productivity and economic growth. The primary objective of a competition policy is to enhance consumer welfare by promoting competition and controlling practices that could restrict it. More competitive markets stimulate innovation and generally lead to lower prices for consumers, increased product variety and quality, more entry and enhanced investment. Overall, greater competition is expected to deliver higher levels of welfare and economic growth.
