According to the OECD Employment Outlook 2017 report, the Czech Republic is among the best performers with one of the lowest unemployment and low income rates.

A scoreboard of labour market performance in terms of job quantity, job quality and inclusiveness, using 2013-2015 data, shows that the Czech Republic improved its position in the share of working age population in employment and labour market insecurity/expected monetary loss associated with becoming and staying unemployed as a share of previous earnings. The country retained the same position in terms of unemployment, gross hourly earnings adjusted for inequality, low income rate and gender labour income gap
