The Primary labor market is a market that generally consists of high-wage paying jobs, social security, and longer lasting careers. It is contrasted by the Secondary labor market, which usually consists of low-wage paying jobs, limited mobility within jobs, and temporary careers. The primary and secondary labor markets are intended for division of the standard of jobs within labor (heavy work) services.
