摘要:AbstractIn the current financial and economic context, the Romanian economy is still feeling the effects of the global economic crisis, a quite affected segment being the labor market. This work aims to realize an empirical study of factors that influence the employment rate from two Romanian regions: Northeast and West. Between these regions there are the greatest differences on the socio-economic development. The econometric models performed in this analysis for these two regions show, on the one hand, a positive correlation between the household income and the employment rate and, on the other hand, a negative impact of labor productivity on employment rate.
