Spatial autocorrelation is the correlation between the values of the same variable at different points in space. This method enables a more complete analysis than is traditionally used as it specifies the spatial structures and relationships between adjacent elements. Analyses of phenomena using this tool is helpful in identifying areas that have different or similar values. Thanks to it, is possible to assess and control the studied phenomenon, as well as identify differences between the areas and their surroundings. The issue discussed in the article stemmed from the fact that recently research on the impact of air transport on regional labour markets has been of great importance. The aim of the article is to present the method of spatial autocorrelation to determine the degree of concentration and spatial connections of the situation on local labour markets in poviats located within the Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport isochrone area. The analysis took into account 27 indicators characterising the labour market. The research period was 2011–2015. In the course of the research, the goal was achieved. The obtained results made it possible to evaluate and notice the degree of concentration of the neighbouring poviats in terms of the adopted measures. In the course of the research, the research hypothesis was positively verified as follows: poviats located in the area of gravity of the examined object are characterised by a spatial autocorrelation of the situation in regional labour markets and cause spatial inequalities.
