Hello!
How do you translate "pessoas no mercado de trabalho"?
Is it persons in the labor market, or labor force?
Thank you!

María Diehn Jun 12, 2007:
Sorry: I medid not mean "marketplace" but "labor market" as MG said. In this context would work out well.
María Diehn Jun 12, 2007:
More context is needed, because the translation could be even "marketplace" if your text were similar to this: "Cin-
co são afro-descendentes, o que
reforça o objetivo de promover a
inclusão social pela capacitação
para o mercado de trabalho."

people in the work force

All three are OK: labor market, labor force, and work force. It depends on the emphasis of your text. More context would help.

Because your phrase says "people in," I tend to go for "labor force" or "workforce," but the distinction is subtle. Here are some definitions:

labor market:
# the market in which workers compete for jobs and employers compete for workers
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

# Labour economics seeks to understand the functioning of the market for labour. Labour markets function through the interaction of workers and employers. Labour economics looks at the suppliers of labour services (workers), the demanders of labour services (employers), and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of wages, employment, and income.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_market

labor force:

# All persons 16 years of age or over who are either employed or unemployed and actively looking for a job. Total labor force includes members of the armed forces stationed either in the United States or abroad. They are excluded from civilian labor force.
www.senate.michigan.gov/sfa/StateBudget/glossary.html

# The sum of the employed and the unemployed.
jobsnd.com/data/faq_glossary.html

# a group consisting of persons who are either working or looking for work.
www.srs.fs.usda.gov/sustain/data/authors/glossary.htm


workforce (should be one word!):

# The sum of employed and unemployed people.
www.econ100.com/eu5e/open/glossary.html

# work force: the force of workers available
