While Akerlof described adverse selection in the used car market, can you think of how adverse selection might arise in the labor market? Or even in dating?

Answer:
• Labor Market - Having better information as to candidates' resumes. Seems that as the labor market gets more competitive, people are putting down false information on their resumes.
• Dating. People may not be given truthful information as to interest and likes before they accept a date offer.
