You may be interested in this usability study[1] that concluded: "Placing a label above an input field works better in most cases, because users arent forced to look separately at the label and the input field." - and - "In most cases, when placing labels to the left of input fields, using left-aligned labels imposes a heavy cognitive workload on users. Placing labels above input fields is preferable, but if you choose to place them to the left of input fields, at least make them right aligned."
