What is labor market
 The nominal market in which workers find paying job,
employers find willing workers, and wage rates are determined.
 Labor market may be local or national (even international) in
their scope and is made up of smaller, interacting labor markets for
different qualifications, skills, and geographical locations.
 Labor markets depend on exchange of information between employers
and job seekers about wage rates, conditions of employment, level
of competition, and job location.
