Summary/Abstract: The article presents one possible application of indirect estimation methods (including the method accounting for spatial correlation) to estimate the percentage of unemployed people aged 15 and over in the subregions of Poland in the first quarter of 2008. This is a more detailed spatial aggregation of data compared with that found in publications of the Central Statistical Office based on Labor Force Survey results. The second aim of the article is to compare the precision measures of the direct estimator with those of the EBLUP estimator (empirical best linear unbiased predictor) and the SEBLUP estimator (which takes into account spatial correlation).
