Abstract
The transition in the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovak Republic) has been a long lasting process. Monitoring the process has been very interesting because it is both similar and dissimilar to “normal” performance of OECD economies. At the beginning of the transition, due to lack of information we could only make educated guesses about what was really happening. This was particularly true in the case of labour market developments. The data necessary for analysis were either non-existent, incomplete or not fully reliable. Now, after a few years of the transition we know quite a bit about Visegrad economies, including the performance of their labour markets. Moreover, we also have a general view of how Visegrad labour markets differ from those in developed countries and how they differ from each other.
