The main goal of this study is to show the perception of the local labour market from the perspective of young people and to present the current situation on the local labour market in the Łomża district. In the inference process, the results of qualitative research conducted among students from the Łomża poviat were used, and content analysis was chosen as the research technique. As the research results show, the connotations of young people related to the perception of the local labour market boil down to the description of subjective and objective factors influencing the causes, scale and scope of the phenomenon.
