If you are interested in learning how labor markets are taught in macro today, check out these slides from Acemoglu of MIT: http://economics.mit.edu/files/10284 http://economics.mit.edu/files/10284 Labor market models are much more about flows, and frictions to those flows, rather than "static" views of labor supply and demand. When I was studying econ, I found some of these models and equations to be the most well thought-out and powerful tools presented whereas a lot of the other things I had to learn were toy models or very, very far removed from reality.
