Encyclopedic overview

A "help wanted" sign seeks available workers for jobs.

Labour economics is the subfield of economics concerned with the study of labour as an input to economic production. Broadly, it surveys labor markets and the economic decisions of agents (i.e., workers and employers) participating in such markets.
