Lump of Labor falacy edit
I got rid of the section about overpopulation causing unemployment. Without further elaboration this is too close to the lump-of-labor falacy whereby theres a fixed amount of work and more people simply mean more idle people. If the original author was doing something about short-term effects they should have said so.
What is labor supply? edit
The pre-existing, Marxist view, article on labor supply is not really compatible with the view of labor supply as it is generally defined in modern economics. This should really be two separate articles. Since "labor supply"'s most common usage is that found in modern economics this article should be about that. Another article - say "labor pool" or whatever the proper Marxist term is - could be created to describe the historical definition of the notion.radek (talk) 09:03, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Dr. Leigh's comment on this article edit
Dr. Leigh has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
It would be good to show a graph of the standard upward-sloping labor supply model, explaining why it slopes upwards. The backward-bending chart is a neat curio, but should be relegated further down the entry. This will make clear to readers that while the individual labor supply curve might bend backwards, the aggregate labor supply curve does not.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

While the contents are correct and clearly written, there are several aspects of labour demand that are not presented. In particular, the effects of taxation, those of minimum wages, what happens to wages and to labour supply when unemployment increases (or decreases).

Rename to Labor supply (American English spelling)? edit
Anyone oppose (or support) a change of the title of this article to "Labor Supply", which is the American English spelling over "Labour supply" which is the British English spelling? Th78blue (They/Them/Their • talk) 21:17, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
