minus-squaregandalf_der_12te@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 months agoThe labor market is a market - that means it is regulated by supply and demand. Now, there’s a demand for workers. Now, think about what happens when the supply goes down - prices go up. In other words: If there are fewer workers on the labor market, that means the price for labor goes up, in other words: wages go up.
