In this research work we investigate which factors influence the probability of leaving the unemployment state among people registered in the District Labor Office in Słupsk. The multiepisode hazard models with time-varying variables are suitable tools for this analysis. We introduced the changing labor market structure into the risk model. The main results achieved show that the job finding process depends on the historical time of the entry into the unemployment state and the actual historical time. Also, the specific individual characteristics of people unemployed, such as gender, age, marital status, place of residence, education level, influence the probability of exiting the unemployment state. There is a greater tendency to leave the unemployment state when the person doesn't receive the unemployment benefit. The participation in the vocational training doesn't increase the transition rate into employment. (original abstract)
