Summary/Abstract: The author presents supplementary measures of labour market status in Poland. In 2011, Eurostat proposed to use three new measures of describing the situation on the labour market to supplement the classification of the International Labour Organisation. Definitions of these measures are discussed, and the calculations for Poland in the period 2006–2010 are presented. Isolating those on the borderline between work and unemployment, and unemployment and inactivity, allows to better understand changes in the labour market. Looking from the stocks and flows in the labour market, the most important among newly introduced groups are the economically inactive people not looking for work but ready to take it.
