Explanation:

The hiring of labor depends initially on the employer's need to hire labor for their productive activity, which in turn depends on the current state of the labor market - whether heated or stagnant.

When there is a need for hiring, the employer will evaluate the labor costs, which are linked to the educational level (spent on education), which in turn indicates the worker's productivity. Finally, there is a round of negotiations between the parties to decide wage issues.
