Abstract

This work analyses the structure of foreign workforce in
Slovakia by job category and country of origin. The foreign employees
were divided into 9 job categories by level of sophistication ranging
from leading workforce in organizations to auxiliary and unskilled
workers. It has been found that the majority of employees in more
sophisticated job categories are coming to Slovakia from larger and
more developed economies, while those less sophisticated positions in
Slovakia are mostly filled with Romanian, Hungarian and Ukrainian
nationals. A very important role in almost all categories, irrespective
of proficiency level, is played by nationals from The Czech Republic.
This shows that close economic ties between The Czech Republic and
Slovakia are reflected also on the labor market. The findings of this study have important implications for the labor market in Slovakia, as
it has been shown in many research studies so far, that immigrant
labor composition impacts various labor market variables.
