For the sake of specificity of survey, especially in case of censored data, the Cox’s proportional hazard model has been used for the identification of determinants and research their influence for time needed to take up a job. To the model, except independent variables, their interactions that enable the calculation of interplay of researched variables have been included. 20846 persons registered as unemployed in the Local Labour Office in Szczecin and due to various reasons unregistered in 2010 have been included in the research. If unregistering occurred due to different reasons than finding a job, such an observation has been considered as censored.
