Labour Market

The setting in which people who can provide labour meet those who need labour. Labour markets can be: internal, within an organization, or external, outside the organization. Labour market is a somewhat old-fashioned term which implies physical labour as opposed to the time, knowledge and intellectual effort required in many modern jobs. ‘Job market’ or ‘employment market’ are more meaningful in today’s context. See ‘Employment market’.
