This paper presents the application of econometric techniques to examinethe labour market in Lower Silesia. First the analysis was performed on a dataset for variables connected with labour market recorded in poviats (NUTS 4). Inorder to determine the existence of spatial autocorrelation Moran’s statistics Iwas calculated. Then the spatial regression model was used to describe therelationship between the rate of unemployment and other variables. Next, LISAcluster maps were generated for units at NUTS 5 level. The results indicate thespatial dimension of the unemployment and its tendency to creatingconcentrations.
