The Demand for Labor 勞動(dòng)需求 Labor markets, like other markets in the economy, are governed by the forces of supply and demand. 與經(jīng)濟(jì)中的其它市場(chǎng)一樣,勞動(dòng)市場(chǎng)也是由供求力量支配的。 2022 by Harcourt, Inc. The Market for the Factors of Production The demand for a factor of production is a derived demand. uA firm’s demand for a factor of production is derived from its decision to supply a good in another market.
