Abstract: We identify determinants of large disparities in local unemployment rates in Poland using panel data on NUTS-4 level (poviats) We find that the disparities are linked to local demographics, education and sectoral employment composition rather than to local demand factors However, the impact of determinants is not homogenous across poviats Where unemployment is low or income per capita is high, unemployment does not depend on the late working-aged share in the population but does depend relatively stronger on the share of early working-aged Where unemployment is high or income per capita is low, unemployment does not depend on education attainment and is relatively less responsive to investment fluctuations Where small farms are present, they are partial absorbers of workers laid off due to investment fluctuation
