Due to the questions concerning the Silesian autonomy it seems important to estimate whether and to what extend Silesians constitute a national minority. National minorities differ in terms of culture, language, religion, as well as in the sphere of economy. Analyses of the records of the year 2002 allow to confirm the existence of such differences of the people declaring Silesian nationality. It can be seen on the job market, not only in comparison with the inhabitants of other parts of Poland, but also in the Silesian and the Opole voyevodship.
