Performance of The Slovak Economy in Relation to Labor Productivity and Employment

Abstract The regions which are located in the European environment have different primary sources, their quality and their level of utilization, which has a direct impact on their performance and subsequent productivity. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance and productivity of the Slovak economy in relation to employment in the period from 1995 to 2012. We assume that between employment and performance of the Slovak economy in individual periodsis a strong dependence. This analysis confirmed our assumption. The productivity growth of the Slovak economy is directly proportional related to the ability of enterprises to respond successfully to new challenges in the field of innovation and the optimal use of productive resources. The correct interpretation of the results of performance and employment in the national economy can greatly help to clarify the situation on the labor market and thus to diagnose conditions that influence to a greater extent the behaviour of people of working age.
