WorkWords

WorkWords is an online labour market encyclopedia that provides definitions of key labour market terms, data, uses and concepts.

What is WorkWords?

We created WorkWords to help people better navigate key labour market information (LMI) terms and sources.

Each WorkWords entry contains definitions of often-used labour market terms, links to assist users in finding data sources, and insights on how to best interpret the data to make more informed decisions.
