The main aim of the paper is to map regional employment differentiation in Slovak Republic according to the high-tech and low-tech manufacturing sectors. To achieve this aim the authors worked with recent statistical regional data. They concentrated on a question if there exists a substantial relation between the location of the high-tech manufacturing and the employment growth in the selected regions. According to their survey, the high-tech sector did not prove a very strong impact on the total employment. However, considering the changing structure of manufacturing in the future it will represent one of the most decisive issues of the competitive growth.
