*Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access, transportation, telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce, the development of capital and the regulatory market*  stated Janet Napolitano, American politician, lawyer, and president of the University of California. - [Brainyquote](https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/workforce)


If we look at the actual labor market, we may see a multitude of issues that have risen during recent years. Some of these have gained a quite considerable amount of attention in the media while some have been completely neglected. However, the workforce and the economy are two of the strongest components of our modern society. Here, workers, employers, and employees interact. Employers are trying to recruit the most skilled individuals, while workers are constantly competing for the jobs that suit them better and offer the most (or most satisfying) benefits.
