About Economics - Employment and the Labor Market (US) course
Labor market indicators are important for investors because they’re helpful in determining the incomes of consumers and corporations’ hiring appetites. Labor market strength drives consumer spending, productivity, and business investment, signaling potential levels of corporate revenue and earnings growth. The robustness of an economy is closely linked to its labor markets, the ease or difficulty in attaining work and the number of people working in it. This course explores a variety of labor market indicators that shed light on the composition of human work like participation, unemployment, employment and wages.
To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of essential concepts discussed, this course includes a series of practical examples, quizzes and reading materials.
