Subject The study is an attempt to analyze the adequacy and comparability of statistical indicators of labor resources in Russia and its regions based on the data array obtained from employers and employees for 2004-2012. Objectives The objective is to perform the analysis of the indicators on the case study of a representative region, i.e. the Khabarovsk Krai, being a subject of the Russian Federation with diversified economy. Methods I achieve the set objective based on the panel time-series regressions comparable with the methods that are usually used for such purposes in literature. Statistical data are obtained from the official database of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service. The methodological framework rests on the international practices of economic analysis of the labor market. Results Despite the differences in the assessment methods and the dynamics of absolute values of the two indicators of labor resources, the dynamics of their sectoral structure and their reaction to the rate of economic development and wage increase are subject to general laws, which is true for both national and regional levels. I substantiate spatial and inter-temporal restrictions of economic and statistical analysis of labor resource indicators in the country and its regions. Conclusions The study shows the availability of industry segments in the economy of Russia and its regions that are characterized by significant differentiation of economic parameters of local labor markets' functioning.
