Summary/Abstract: Economic growth is one of the determinants shaping the labour market. Generally, there is no doubt that there is a positive relationship between these two categories, however the issue of quantitative relationships observed between them is more complicated.The paper attempts to analyse the relationship between GDP growth rates and the number of working people in Poland between 1995 and 2014, as well as to determine the nature of economic growth over the studied period. The paper also seeks to answer several research questions, i.e. What was the dynamics of GDP changes and the number of working people between 1995 and 2014?What was the employment absorption rate in different periods of Polish economy development and in selected economy sectors? What is the limit of jobless economic growth in Poland? Results of conducted research show that the labour market relatively slowly reacted to economic growth, and employment was increasing only when economic growth rate reached the level of about 4.5%.
