Summary/Abstract: Over time, social, economic, historical and political events in countries have established conditions for uneven regional development. Uneven regional development is conditioned by resources of the region, such as physical characteristics, human resources, technical, economic and social conditions. Economic and social developments in the state and individual regions have a direct impact on the labour market. The differences in the labour market are sensitively perceived, because of the potential for disproportionate differences in the living standard of inhabitants of individual regions. In most countries, the best-performing regions are the capital regions. The aim of the paper is to examine and evaluate the situation on the labour market in the capital regions of the Visegrad Group (Bratislavský kraj, Praha, Közép-Magyarország and Mazowieckie) using selected indicators of labour market. We use the time series analysis of selected indicators, mathematical-statistical methods, comparison and synthesis in this article. The statistical data are drawn from the Eurostat database. Our research has shown that the best results of the labour market indicators are reported by the region of Praha.
