The labor market is the place where the supply and the demand for jobs meet, with the workers or labor providing the services that employers demand. The worker may be anyone who wishes to offer his services for compensation, while the employer may be a single entity or an organization that is in need of an individual to do a specific job or to complete a task. The worker is then comparable to a seller while the employer is the buyer. So, what are some ways that labor markets can be identified and approached? Identify the area within which employers are competing for labor; conduct or participate in market surveys within the labor market to determine the salaries being paid for specific positions; work with management to validate the market areas, market competitors, and job matches (benchmarks).
