Labour Market Literacy encompasses the ways in which people use literacy in the workplace, the importance of literacy to the workforce and the relationship between the literacy skills of workers and the new knowledge-based economy.

Workplace literacy mainly addresses the needs of employees who are currently working and refers to the ways people use reading and writing and math in the workplace in combination with oral communication and technology.

Workforce literacy mainly deals with the needs of those who are unemployed and seeking work. Workplace literacy is strongly linked with workforce literacy programs.
