How do you do market research on job availability?

[Mysterious MUSE Daughter of Zeus]

I am working on a schooling plan and need to submit some market survey research for my financial assistance. I need to research the number of people who are hired in the field in which I will be receiving training and provide incomes for the area I live in. Also need to find average salary and benefits available. Is there some sort of website where I can find out the information?

Maybe try the trade press and see if you can use jobs vacant to help build a model. Most HR departments will have such stuff (industry market reports on market rates etc) but not being in HR no idea where they get them from and they will cost money. So just research the trade press in your chosen field and that should help.
