The industrial park located in the town of Komárom (Hungary) belongs to the most successful examples of the Hungarian economic transition process and structural change. Nowadays the Nokia cell phone factory and its suppliers secure workplace for about 15,000 workers (half of them commuting from the neighbouring Slovakia) laying down the long-term, stable prosperity of the region. This paper analyses the situation and changes in labour market of Komárom-Komárno borderland region, and introduces the micro- and macroeconomic factors, which are influencing its further development. The draining of reserves in free labour force of the region, and the diminishing number of Slovakian workers will fundamentally influence the structure of employment of the border region and will ultimately result in a steady over-demand in labour force. In the analysis it is argued that only a proactive, regional, integrated labour force development strategy and a conscious plan for attraction of new workers into the town(s) can result a sustainable economic development for Komárom and its region.
