The article discusses the trends in the Estonian labour market in comparison with other European Union countries. The main focus is on the years of the recession, but the developments of some indicators are analysed since Estonia’s accession to the European Union. The main things considered are economic activity rate, employment, unemployment and long-term unemployment, part-time employment and labour policy measures. Comparisons of wages and the Purchasing Power Standard are used to compare the standard of living.
