Labour market evidence

Our opinions are typically supported by targeted research into earnings, job availability, occupational requirements, career progression and regional labour markets.

A proposed career path or alternative occupation needs to exist in the real labour market. Our research tests assumptions about earnings, job availability, entry requirements, progression and regional opportunities.

We use relevant statistical sources alongside occupational and vacancy evidence, rather than relying simply on broad national averages. Labour market research may form part of an expert’s opinion or, where appropriate, may be commissioned as a standalone report.
