America's Labor Market Information Services

General Program Information

America’s Labor Market Information System (ALMIS) has become a dynamic system that produces quality and standardized labor market information and tools in a wide variety of media and formats to job seekers, employers and the workforce development community. ALMIS results from collaborative efforts between and among the States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Workforce Investment Council, and the Employment and Training Administration (ETA.) It provides critical infrastructure to support the workforce investment system nationwide with the primary goal of serving the customers of local one-stop service delivery systems.


The system that is ALMIS broadly includes a number of components at the federal, state, and local levels including data collection and analysis, research and development, product development, information dissemination, direct service delivery, and technical assistance and capacity building. These activities are supported by a network of trained labor market information professionals at all levels and by ongoing investments in technology to both create and deliver the products and information.

Investments in ALMIS can be grouped broadly in three categories: development of national tools; system building initiatives through grants to state consortia; and direct grants to states.
