Abstract

The basic objective of this research is to analyze the employment trend in transportation over the past thirty years and to determine the possible contribution of transportation as an economic activity in solution of the unemployment problem in Croatia. The methods of correlation and regression analyses are used to prove the hypothesis concerning the limitations of transport sector in new job creation. The applied scientific methodology has the task to prove that transport sector in Croatia is becoming more capital intensive than labor intensive economic activity. Accordingly, the trend of decreasing employment in the transport sector will continue in the next period. Data analysis and numerical calculations are performed using Statistica software.
