1. Labor Relations

2. Labor workers employed in an establishment
Human activity that provides the goods or services in an economy
The services performed by workers for wages
expenditure of physical or mental effort especially when difficult
 There are basically three types of buyers: Those who shop on price alone, those who look at long term value and those who flaunt what they spend.  For those items bought on price alone, quality is cut to the bare minimum (and too often below) to achieve the lowest possible price.  Those who look at value, i.e. a products made to last through a long service life at a reasonable price make their decisions more slowly and do a fair amount of research first. Consumer's Digest, Road and Track, direct referrals from satisified previous customers are among the paths taken. Often a product is unimportant enough to be not worth the effort of shopping for value and so reverts back to a price only sale.  Those who like to flaunt, what we used to call people who bought a $5 shirt with a $10 alligator on it, are externally driven. High price is often the quality looked for, not the actual value of the product itself.  Competition works differently in these different markets. The first is completely price driven and if you can't find a way to cut prices below your competitor's, you're out of business fast.  In the value driven market, price, in and of itself, is only one of several variables used to determine what is bought. There is a conscious trade-off on the part of the buyer between price and expected quality of the product over is usage life.  In the ego driven market there is little correlation between price and quality...unless it's the "quality" of the celebrity showing them off.
