job market segmentation

Job market segmentation refers to the division of the overall labor market into distinct groups or segments based on factors like skills, industries, experience levels, or geographic areas. It recognizes that different segments have different characteristics, job opportunities, and employment conditions. Employers and policymakers often analyze these segments to better match workers with suitable jobs and address specific needs within each group. Essentially, it's a way of understanding that the job market isn’t one uniform space, but a collection of interconnected parts with unique features and dynamics.
