labour markets
Job supply exchanges
Labour markets are the systems where workers seek employment and employers seek workers.
The term treats human labor as a commodity subject to supply and demand: when jobs are scarce, employers have leverage; when workers are scarce, wages rise.
Economists analyze labour market conditions to understand unemployment, wage trends, and workforce participation.
