By default, if the supply of labor decreases, the demand will increase. And since this market has consistently had an excess supply (for the last 10-15 years), then there will be NO decrease in the amount of jobs offered. Perhaps you have other concerns, but this slack MUST be eliminated if you are truly a proponent of efficient markets. And as the demand increases, so will the buyer's price offered to labor's sellers, i.e. wages will rise. If there is a downside to any of this, they do not in any way redound to the job seekers; at least not until the unemployment rate drops to the 4% range, and the involuntary labor participation rate decreased considerably from it's current level. We are quite a ways away from either of those occurrences. Though I don't believe my analysis can be challenged, I am interested to hear your refutation.
