8. EXPLORE OPTIONSLook at the Current Job Market • LOOKING AT THE CURRENT JOB MARKET • It is also important to find out where the jobs are likely to be • Labour market information (LMI) can provide you with an idea of emerging occupations, trends for current occupations and sectors, and other information that can guide your job search and education decisions

9. Understanding Labour Market Information (LMI) • What is the labour market • A market is a term in economics that refers to any place where things are bought and sold • Just as there are markets for food, cars and clothes, there are markets for labour • Markets have two components or sides: • The supply side refers to those looking to sell (employees, job seekers, entrepreneurs) • The demand side refers to those looking to buy (employers or clients)

10. Understanding LMIBUYING A CAR – Two Scenarios • Two high school students have been working since they were 14 and saving up to buy cars as soon as they could afford a used one Sally wants something functional that will get her to and from work and school, and that will hold some value in case she wants to sell it for cash later on John knows what he wants – it is fast and powerful, would be fun to drive and would definitely impress his friends

11. Sally’s Guide to Buying a Car • Sally decides that she needs to do some research on the car market • She visits car dealerships and looks online to get information on different models • She googles local car market information to explore supply and demand • Sally buys a used 2011 Civic Coupe in red, because she likes the colour and the sound system and got a good price • Her research doesn’t tell her exactly what will happen; it gives a decent picture and helps her make a decision that’s also based on personal preference and needs

12. John’s Guide to Buying a Car • John has known his dream car since his friend bought one a few years ago • He finally has the money so he heads to the dealership and gets a great price on a brand new Electric Yellow Camaro, complete with custom racing stripes “That was easy!” • John’s friends are all begging for rides in his dream car while Sally is still exploring her options!

13. Understanding LMISELLING A CAR – Two Scenarios • A year later, both high schoolers have graduated and are planning to move to big cities for their post-secondary education • They’ve both decided owning a car in a big city is too expensive and impractical and are looking to sell • The cars have been gently used, neither student has gone on any long trips and they’ve taken great care of the cars with regular maintenance and a clean interior

14. Sally’s Guide to Selling a Car • Sally posts her car on AutoTrader and almost immediately has some responses • After meeting a few interested buyers, she ends up selling her car for just a little less than she bought it “That was easy!” • Sally’s car is sold within one week and she has money in the bank and time to plan her big move!

15. John’s Guide to Selling a Car • John is confident his “dream car” will sell quickly; his friends all love it! • He puts a ‘For Sale’ sign in the window • Two weeks later, only one offer…a bad one! • Listing on AutoTrader, he is surprised by the low prices but decides his car is worth more • A month goes by and the clock is ticking... • He looks in the Canadian Black Book and is shocked to see how low his car’s value is • John can’t wait for a better offer;he sells low and puts less money in the bank • What a nightmare endto owning a dream car!

16. What Just Happened? A HAPPY ENDING FOR SALLY • BUYING A CAR • Explore your options • She put a lot of time and research into buying her car, helping her make a great choice from both a personal preference perspective and in terms of resale value • SELLING A CAR • “That was easy!” • She already knew a lot about where to advertise, how much to ask for and how much money she would have to put in the bank! • Sally’s car sold in one week - she has money in the bank and time to plan her big move!

17. What Just Happened? JOHN’S DREAM IS A NIGHTMARE • BUYING A CAR • “That was easy!” John knew exactly what he wanted; he was thrilled to be driving around with his friends within one week of having saved enough cash • SELLING A CAR • Too little, too late • John enjoyed a year with his car, but knew little about the car market, losing time and money selling a car that was not everyone’s “dream” • After working so hard, John ended up paying the price for not exploring his options!

18. And now, back to LMI... “Great story, but what does it have to do with the labour market?” • Quite a lot, actually! • Just as there is a market for cars, there is a market for labour • Just like there’s information you can find on the car market, there is tons of information on the labour market

19. Using LMI to Explore Options You can use LMI to help you when you’re choosing an education program or career path • Like Sally, you probably have an idea of some of the things you want in a school program or a job, but you might be open to a few options • Sally knew what she needed in a car, so she did some market research to find some options that would offer good resale value; she also knew she wanted a red one, so that’s the colour she chose!

20. Using LMI to Explore Options Or you might be more like John and know exactly what path you want to take • This is ok too! John got to use his great car for a year and had lots of fun driving it • In fact, if John had done some research on the car market, he might have still chosen the same new car • In the end though, John ended up wishing he had done his market research before buying, instead of when trying to sell, because it would have at least let him make a decision with his eyes open

21. Using LMI to Explore Options What are you going to buy and sell? • When you are exploring careers, you want to consider what employers want to “buy” • You’re looking to “buy” training that will give you skills and knowledge that is marketable • Your preferences are also important • Even though your end goal is to get a job, you still want to pick a career that suits your aptitudes and interests

22. Using LMI to Explore Options What are you going to buy and sell? • When you’ve finished your training and are looking for a job, you’re in the same position as Sally and John when they were selling their cars • You’re selling YOURSELF to employers, and your training and experience are, hopefully, going to make you more valuable

23. Using LMI to Explore Options • If you’ve done your research, like Sally, you will at least have an idea of what the labour market might look like • You know where to look for jobs, how much they pay, and how much interest you can expect to get • If you haven’t done any research, like John, you may be in for some unhappy surprises • You might find there aren’t as many jobs for people with your qualifications, or that they don’t pay anywhere near as well as you expected

24. Using LMI to Explore Options What Labour Market Information IS NOT • Labour market information is never a sure thing; forecasts do NOT predict the future • You CANNOT exactly predict which qualifications will be most in demand or which occupations will have the highest number of jobs • You CAN, however, use what information there is available to help you make an informed choice and to give you a better idea of where the path you take might lead

25. Using LMI to Explore Options • If you’re going to make a big investment in yourself, you want to make informed choices • If you’re completely unsure where you want to go, looking at occupations with good job prospects can help you narrow down your choices • If you are interested in a certain field, you can focus on a specific occupation with good job prospects • Finally, you can still pursue your dream job even if the labour market doesn’t look amazing, as things can (and often do) change pretty quickly, but at least you will know what you could be getting into!

37. Ottawa’s Top Jobs 500+*(% growth) * This list includes only those occupations with more than 500 jobs in Ottawa as this data is considered more reliable based on sample sizes of the Labour Force Survey. **the growth reported for this occupation is abnormally high and suggests that there may have been a reporting error; thus caution should be used when looking at these employment figures

38. Ottawa’s Top Jobs TAKE 3

39. Ottawa’s Top Jobs 100 to 500*(% growth) * Keep an eye on these jobs based on fast growth; however, employment prospects are tempered by small number of jobs and potential data anomalies based on sample size. NOTE: EMSI suggests taking occupation data between 100 and 500 jobs with “a grain of salt”; occupation data where there are fewer than 100 jobs is NOT considered reliable because of the sampling sizes used in the Labour Force Survey

What this is We use the 2011 National Occupation Classification (NOC) codes, managed by ESDC. The NOC system is the way the government groups different types of jobs together to produce information about them. We show the four-digit code – each digit represents a more specific level of the grouping. The first digit tells us if the occupation might be in health or manufacturing, for example. Each of the following digits tells us something more specific about the occupation and helps us narrow down our focus when looking at labour market information. # of jobs 2013 2015 2018 % of job growth 2013-2018 19,134 12,711 17,524 Where to find it Look up codes and find more detailed information here: • NOC 2011(ESDC) 51% Information systems analysts and consultants (NOC 2171) WHO COULD I BE?
