Demand curve is the curve which shows the relationship between quantity demanded and price of the good or service. Supply curve is curve which shows the relationship between quantity supplied and price of the good or service. The intersection of supply a demand curve gives the equilibrium price and quantity.
Like all demand curves the labor demand curve can either shift or move along the curve. Now when there is change in price while all other factors are constant then, there will be movement along the curve and if price is constant and other factors are changing like preferences of firms, future expectation of income, current income, etc. then there will be shifting of demand curve of labor. So, these factors help decide the policy makers make policies and their effects on the Standard employment market.
