Abstract
The paper aims to analyse the current situation of the highly qualified in the
Czech Republic applying the ISCO qualification. Previous studies suggest that
educational attainment has an important impact on labour market performance
and national competitiveness. Data analyses approved that highly qualified
workforce positively influences economic situation of the EU–15 Member States
they work in. However, this hypothesis was disapproved for the EU–10+3
Member States joining the EU after 2004. The difference can be explained by the
various stage in convergence process since some New Member States are still in
transformation period. We positively appraise the significant growth of fraction
of the highly qualified in the Czech Republic since 2004, especially in the major
group Professionals involving the most qualified workforce. The same trend
happened also for the highly qualified foreigners in the Czech Republic, however
their attracting still remains a challenge
