The main aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive system of statistical information concerning the labour market with respect to the theoretical background as well as to the latest trends in the labour market statistics. This framework interlinks relations between demand and supply sides of the labour market as well as stocks and flows. In addition to the generally known indicators of economic activity, the authors džine a new set of employment indicators derived from job creation, job destruction, hires and separations. There have never been quantified and balanced the demand and supply side stocks and flows in the Czech Republic, so the pilot results concerning the year 2010 are introduced as well. The systematic approach, based on a wider use of linked employer-employee microdata combined with other data sources, has the advantages of a higher information capability as well as of complying with the requirements of the academics.
