Five key factors that affect the labor market:

1. Wages and compensation — higher pay (and benefits) attracts more workers and affects employers’ demand for labor.
2. Productivity and technology — improvements can raise demand for skilled workers but may reduce demand for some types of labor.
3. Education and skills/training — the workforce’s qualifications determine supply for different jobs and influence wages.
4. Demographics and migration — population growth, aging, and immigration change the size and composition of the labor force.
5. Government policy and institutions — laws, taxes, minimum wages, unemployment benefits and unions shape labor supply, demand, and market outcomes.
