1. Michael Spayne Focus LMI
Over 20 years as a labour market analyst trying to make sense of what happening in the labour market.
I used to say I am an analysts not an adviser but in the last 2 years I have done some advice work and this has changed my view to some extent on LMI. Simple, understandable and accessible information that can be useful. Also some information which clients can follow up on themselves.

36. The Future is Uncertain

37. Direction of Change However, we do need to take a view on the future.
We need to decide how to invest in education & training both at government and institutional level.
Individuals need to be able to plan for their futures.
Professor Rob Wilson of the IER argues that in these circumstances forecasting is not just possible but inevitable. The only question then becomes how you do it.
Economist such as Professor Wilson use forecasting models to predict the future – you put data in one end and get data out of the other. Past trends are often taken into account.
The longer ahead the prediction the less reliable they are. They cannot foresee unexpected events like the credit crunch – but they can claim to have a logical methodology.
I am skeptical so also like to take perhaps a less scientific view – to look beyond statistical models. I have looked at inventions and developments already in place that have the potential to grow and develop into areas that could have a huge impact upon the jobs market. These are not my own subjective opinions – I have selected areas where there is a broad consensus on the potential.
