Definition
劳动力 (láo dòng lì) refers to the labor force in an economic or statistical sense — the total pool of workers available for work. It contrasts with 人力 (rén lì), which is a broader term for human resources or manpower, and with 人手 (rén shǒu), which means the specific number of workers available for a task.
