In November 2016, LMIS director Lesley Hirsch was invited by the Ontario Ministry for Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD) to present to a group of 20 senior provincial officials. The presentation familiarized the group with LMIS’ history and evolution into its current form, as well as its mission, products and services. Hirsch’s presentation then reviewed major the considerations and challenges of operating a entity that is responsive to the needs of multiple stakeholder groups for accurate and accessible labor market intelligence.
MAESD recently embarked on wide-scale efforts to improve its products and services in response to a report by the Premier of Ontario’s Expert Workforce Panel, entitled Building the Workforce of Tomorrow, released earlier this year, which recommended that MAESD "take a leadership role in developing and making generally available high quality labour market information so that everyone can make better decisions based on timely, relevant, and understandable information.” The meeting was arranged by Toronto’s Metcalf Foundation for whom LMIS had co-facilitated a daylong session on strategic use of LMI at the nation’s first Sector Skills Academy.

The New York City Department of Small Businesses asked the NYCLMIS to perform geographic analyses that would inform the placement of 10 new Workforce1 Expansion Center. NYCLMIS mapped concentrations of service - people served and placed in jobs by the City's Workforce1 Career and Sector Centers - and need - individuals receiving Unemployment Insurance(using aggregate records obtained from the New York State Department of Labor). The results showed an overall alignment of service to need, even at the peak of the recession and identified strategic locations where additional sites could further improve service.
