It seems that in essence, workers in capitalist societies are detached from their jobs, so to speak. After they've spent years on a certain job or in a certain organization, naturally they would somewhat feel it's their own backyard. However, it happens in reality that the employer can just lock them out and tell them the jobs don't need them any more, without any advance notice, not even on the day before.
A worker doesn't own the job, he only owns his labor.
A worker sells his labor, and an employer buys it. And no one is selling a job, and no one is buying one. So, perhaps "job market" is a false name. And "labor market" is a much more suitable one.
