One of the world-famous quotes of Winston S. ChurchilI is that
statistics that I doctored myself opinion of many: statistics, and labour statistics, figures and the relationships between data sets are unknown to many. Conflicting statistical details that make it harder to interpret the information presented can be seen daily, such as in ubiquitous social media used by ordinary citizens. Yet, lifelong career guidance practitioners cannot be among those without adequate competences in understanding and interpreting labour market information and statistics and their production because career guidance systems and services mobilise these resources to support users.
In arguing for increased attention to the current surrounding LMI, and, in particular, relevant statistics and databases, are critical in career guidance. Several points are presented about labour market statistics which career guidance systems and service development, as well as guidance practitioners, could usefully incorporate into the knowledge of practice.
Two main themes are discussed: the nature of modern labour markets, and new ways of analysing labour market databases. Also presented is the context surrounding career guidance and its provision and practice, and the special role that trained career practitioners play in relation to the labour market and their clients.
