Employers' hiring decisions and inefficiency in the market for economists
Article Abstract:
Employers' sampling process significantly affects the labor market. The decisions made at each level of the sampling process create an imbalance between labor supply and demand which is one of the main causes of underemployment efficiency in the labor market. Thus, applicants' decision to accept or reject job offers is not the sole determinant of employment or efficiency in the labor market.
