Abstract

The paper focuses on the relation between competitiveness of the industry and its performance regarding employment. We introduce two concepts of competitiveness, which are well-grounded in economic theory and employ them to the analysis of competitiveness in the Polish processing industry branches. Both detailed descriptive and econometric analyses are carried out to determine the links between competitiveness and the level of employment in particular branches. In the study we are also aware of the influence of macroeconomic situation on labour market developments.
