Analiza sytuacji na lokalnym rynku pracy z wykorzystaniem zmiennej syntetycznej

The paper is an attempt to perform a comparative analysis of the situation on labour market of districts of Slaskie voivodeship in 2006 and in 2010 through providing its statistical image. In the first stage of the study a synthetic variable (Hellwig measurement) was constructed. It allowed for linear ordering of the districts from "the best" to "the worst" with respect to the situation on labour market and for the assessment of the change of image of labour market in Slaskie voivodeship in 2010 in comparison with 2006. In this way the thesis that measurement of condition of the labour market with the use of synthetic variable provides more reliable results than the measurement with the use of only the unemployment rate was to be verified.
