Article Abstract:

The focus of a labor market study for small businesses is West Germany. Different supply and demand features for labor are illustrated. A comparison of employment fluctuations between small and large firms is provided. The theroretical basis of the study is founded upon the stabilization hypothesis and the destabilization hypothesis of the labor market in market economics. There are indications of four labor market segmentations in West Germany. The segmentation demonstrates the dependency of the small business' employment relations on the economic development of larger businesses.
