Dear LMI Institute Members and Partners,

I am writing to invite you to attend the LMI Institute Annual Forum, the premiere event for those in the field of workforce and labor market information. Our theme this year is “Creative Solutions for Transformational Change”, and we are eager to learn about the innovative approaches being taken by state LMI agencies and workforce researchers to address the challenges faced in your states, regions, and communities.

As a LMI leader, you will have the opportunity to hear from industry-leading keynote speakers, attend training classes focused on building your expertise, participate in Researchers’ Roundtables, and network with fellow professionals from across the country. Additionally, the annual LMI state research awards and Charles Benefield Award will be presented, recognizing outstanding work in the field.

The Forum will be held June 13 – 15, 2023, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, MI. We will also offer 2 one-day training classes on June 12. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to expand your skills, build valuable connections, and gain insights into the latest advancements in workforce and labor market information.

Featured Reports and Tools

Bachelor’s Degree and Career Destination

The Bachelor’s Degree and Career Destination (BDCD) is a tool which visually displays fields of study at the Bachelor’s level and the observed labor market outcomes for Minnesota residents. Specifically, the BDCD provides information on occupations, employment and unemployment, labor force participation, and wage and salary incomes associated with field of study for Bachelor’s degree holders. It provides information to assist prospective and current students, educational institutions, researchers and analysts with the planning and evaluation of workforce outcomes, in particular related to liberal arts and general studies programs.

State where you’d like to live in North Carolina and how you spend your money. From there, you’ll be directed to jobs that meet your financial needs.
