Summary/Abstract: A growing economy requires the information support in the specific cross-sections. The sample size in sample surveys makes the fulfillment of this demand impossible, while the full study, due to the cost and time of implementation, is rarely conducted. Statistical methods of data integration allow to combine information from multiple sources. Thanks to their application, it is possible to combine sample surveys and full studies, which makes estimation for small domains possible. In this article the process of combining information from the census publication and information from sample surveys to estimate the rate of unemployment in terms of counties will be presented.
