Abstract
The aim of the paper is to identify the reactions of Polish regions to the negative macroeconomic shocks triggered by the global economic crisis dated for 2008–2010. In the course of the research, econometric forecasting and statistical hypothesis testing methods were used. The research was based on the analysis covering dynamics of increase in the employment using the indicator of employed persons in enterprise sector (as a fixed-based index of dynamics). The findings showed that the crisis of the end of the first decade of the 21st century had different course and impact on regional economies in Poland. Negative impact of the breakdown on regional labour markets prevailed, while positive outcome (a new, more dynamic growth rate of employment) was recorded in only one region.
