Job search and employment

Abstract A multistage search method based on fuzzy preference is used to analyze the processes of job search. An employment decision based on fuzzy preference results in an exact choice. The incorporation of fuzzy interval preference into employment decision, however, may lead to multiple choices, which provides a theoretical justification for the existence of fuzzy supply of labor. Thus, fuzziness, in addition to randomness, offers an explanation to wage dispersion.
