One of the main factors in assessing the degree of development in a region is existing adequate employment opportunities and the amount of labor supply and demand. That is in each area, according to the labor supply and demand, the job shortage is measured to examine the degree of its development. The labor market model is one of the models that examine the labor market conditions. The purpose of the present study is to examine the condition of labor market development in Sages county in a period of four recent censuses from 1966 to 2006. The study is practical in terms of aim, and a descriptive-analytic in terms of method. Data was collected from detailed results of population and housing censuses in 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996, and 2006.The research variables were the number of immigrants out, the number of immigrants in, the rate of natural growth, unemployment rate, employment and labor force. The result showed that the labor force market in Sagez county has not been balanced in any of the periods and this imbalance in the labor market has caused migration into the urban area and intense migration out in rural area. It was found that the lack of equal job opportunities in rural and urban areas has resulted in excessive transfers of population in these areas and finally, an imbalance of labor market in Sagez county as a whole.
