The presented case study deals with registered unemployment and welfare work for unemployed people in chosen district of Czechoslovak Republic. The aim is to compare situation in whole country with situation in the Žilina District in 1935 based on selected macroeconomic indicator: unemployment. In the same time, the study analyses the forms of economic assistance for the unemployed. This research is primary based on the study of contemporary statistical reports in combination with archive materials that are placed in the National Archive in Prague and in the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava. The Czechoslovak government tried to mitigate socio-economic impact of unemployment through various measures. Unfortunately, these measures were only partially successful in the Žilina District.
