| | Labour economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One critique of standard economic analysis of labour markets is that it does not account for the importance of social networks in the employment process. | | | This is because in competitive markets price is equal to marginal revenue, and marginal revenue product is defined as the marginal physical product times the marginal revenue from the output (MRP = MPP * MR). | | | Many economists have thought that, in the absence of laws or organizations such as unions or large multinational corporations, labour markets can be close to perfectly competitive in the economic sense — that is, there are many workers and employers both having perfect information about each other and there are no transaction costs. |

| | Labor market left behind |
| | When the labor market is this weak, the unemployment rate does not provide a full picture of the extent of labor market distress. | | | Given the weakness of the labor market, fewer persons than usual sought work, and this kept unemployment from rising as much as it might have had labor force growth kept pace with population growth. | | | While these sobering facts characterize the current labor market, forecasters remain confident that economic performance will be much improved in the second half of this year. |

| | Labor Market - Center for American Progress |
| | In a weak labor market, this means many renters spend more of their incomes on paying their rents. | | | The hope was that the adverse labor market impacts of recessions and economic slowdowns would be dampened, meaning that minorities, teenagers and less educated workers would not disproportionately suffer as much from a contraction or stagnation in the economy. | | | The May employment numbers raise concerns that are being echoed in recent retail sales numbers and in the bond markets. |

| | Labor expenses are usually the main cost of doing business. | | | Suppose, then, that labor market regulation could raise the incomes of manual laborers up to the level of white-collar workers. | | | There is a broad consensus among economists that European-style labor market regs are the main reason why European unemployment is so much higher than that in the U.S. Everyone from me to Paul Krugman agrees. |

| | Unemployment rate falls to 5.5 percent - Mar. 8, 2002 |
| | But the Labor Department and other economists pointed out that January's job-cut number was worse than the 89,000 initially reported. | | | The jobless rate fell from 5.6 percent in January as employers added 66,000 jobs to payrolls, versus a revised loss of 126,000 jobs a month earlier, the Labor Department reported. | | | The report was especially surprising because the unemployment rate typically lags the rest of the economy, worsening even as the economy recovers because businesses usually delay hiring until they're convinced a rebound is under way. |
