labour market / labor market (US)
The standard age-old economics term for this is the labour market, as in the "factors of production: land labour and capital". Its shelf life is still good for the forseeable future.
However, "job" is now currently also used, especially by journalists and politicians.

Labor market
Un'altra opzione potrebbe essere labor market (labour market)

either "labor market" or "job market"
My intuition of the two phrases is that refer to the same thing but are used somewhat differently. "Labor market" seems to be used in a more abstract sense when speaking from a very high level government or policy overview, while "job market" seems to be what people talk about when considering the prospects of finding work.
Others may have a different intuition, but I thought to add this for whatever consideration it is worth.

: agree it's a question of register. I always find labour market in sociology/political/economics texts but informally one discusses job-finding prospects in the job market
