Example text
It is certainly true that imperfect information and constrained mobility are important characteristics of the labor market. In themselves, however, these considerations complicate the analysis but do not render the labor market different in any fundamental way from other markets.

One distinctive characteristic of the labor market is that strong norms and expectations arise concerning what is proper behavior, and for long periods of time these norms have considerable force.
