    History

    Economics and Labour Market Research was established in 1987 as the Labour Market Research Group, taking over the responsibilities previously carried out by the Ontario Manpower Commission. It formed part of the Policy and Development Division, and was comprised of the Human Resources Planning and Sector Studies unit, and the Labour Market Research unit. In 1989, the Labour Market Research Group was renamed the Labour Market Research and Evaluation Group, and a Program Evaluation Section was formed. In 1990 the Labour Market Research and Evaluation Group was transferred to the Policy Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Labour, and renamed the Labour Market Research Group again.

    It was re-titled the Economics and Labour Research Group, becoming part of the Labour Policy Branch, in 1992, and by the fall of 1993, was renamed Economics and Labour Market Research. With this change, the Group became part of the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB).

    Economics and Labour Market Research ceased to exist in 1996, when OTAB was integrated into the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training. Its functions were assumed by the Labour Market Policy, Planning and Research Branch.
