Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was an attempt to verify the impact of the regional industry-mix on the large regional disparities observed in the levels of the regional labor productivity in Poland. The analysis was carried out using a modified shift-share analysis method. Obtained results showed that in the majority of Polish regions importance of industry mix component in shaping the diversity of labor productivity was very limited. This diversity may therefore result from internal factors affecting the competitiveness of individual regions.
