Abstract: The paper studies unemployment in the Visegrad Group countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland) during the time period 2000 - 2009. Unemployment is analyzed in terms of its duration as well as from a regional perspective. All Visegrad Group countries have been severely hit by the global economic and financial crisis at the end of the observed period. One of the most important impacts of the crisis was a reduction of the general economic activity. As a direct consequence of this development, the labor market suffered a strong imbalance. Moreover, there existed some imbalances even before the crisis. Long-term unemployment persistence and its high share in total unemployment constitutes serious problem in these countries. In addition, the long-term unemployment rates were among the highest within the EU Member States. Using Eurostat and OECD data, the paper analyses and discusses development and consequences of unemployment both at a national and a regi!
onal level. The main finding of this analysis is that both the level of absolute dispersion and long-term unemployment rate has not remained constant over time and that the absolute dispersion was positively correlated with the long-term unemployment rate.
