One year after finishing school, a deci­sive majority (more than 80%) of Małopolska vocational school leavers were occupatio­nally active: most of their number were wor­king, and quite a number of them were conti­nuing education. Regrettably, not all of them managed to find jobs – despite their efforts, 13% of them remained unemployed. It is to be noted, however, that a considerable pro­portion of unemployed school leavers were occupied during the period between leaving school and the time of the survey (being in employment or in further education). People continuously unemployed constituted 6% of the total figure, and the passive ones – 3%.
