What happens to the labor market when an economy undergoes a recovery after a recession?

When an economy recovers from a recession, the labor market starts to improve, meaning more jobs become available. During a recession, many businesses may cut back on hiring or even lay off workers, leading to higher unemployment. However, as the economy grows again, companies begin to see increased demand for their products and services, prompting them to hire more employees. For example, if a restaurant that closed during the recession reopens and starts serving more customers, it will need to hire more staff to meet the demand. This increase in job opportunities helps reduce unemployment and can lead to higher wages as businesses compete for workers.
