Jquery - How to get the input value from a label

If I have a bunch of label/selects like:

<label for="blah" class="myClass">
<select id="blah" multiple="multiple" size="5">

How would I get the value of the selected item based off the label?

So far I have..

    $('label[class="myClass"]').each(function(){
        var labelTxt = $(this).text();
        var labelForTxt = $(this).attr('for');
        var inputVal = $('#'+labelForTxt).val();
    });

but inputVal isn't the value I expect to see. Instead I get either null/undefined. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

In my use case i was working with mdc(material design) and wanted to untick the checkbox whenever i reopen the checkbox after ticking and cancelling in previous operation. 

var checkbox = document.querySelector("#checkbox-"+ $(this).val()+ "-label")

var inputId = checkbox.htmlFor

var input = document.getElementById(inputId)
input.checked = false;

For multiple select:

$("label.myClass select").change(function () {
          var inputval = "";
          $("select option:selected").each(function () {
                inputval += $(this).val() + " ";
              });
          $("div[id='content']").text(inputval);
        });
<div id='content'></div>

One thing to note. You can use the selector $('label.myClass') instead of $('label[class="myClass"]'). It's just more standard. That said, if you want the value of each select contained within a label, do this.

$('label.myClass select').each(function(){
    var inputVal = $(this).val();
});
