The aim of this work is to investigate and analyze the situation on the Croatian labor market and the problems that characterize it. Primary (empirical) and secondary research was carried out for the purposes of the paper. The primary research referred to the examination of citizens' views on the state and problems in the Croatian labor market, while the secondary research referred to the search of scientific and professional publications as well as databases containing the most important indicators from the labor market. The results of the research indicate that the biggest problem on the Croatian labor market is low wages, followed by the import of foreign workers, which contributes to the emigration of domestic workers and is also an additional problem on the labor market. The paper presents graphs that show the state of the market, the movement of the population and the workforce, and show the imbalance in the Croatian labor market. From the graphs presented in the paper, one can see the movement of the number of inhabitants, that is, the decrease of the total number of inhabitants. The graphs in the paper are presented in the period from 2014 to 2023 for all data for which information could be found in that period. Further, certain incentives and supports for employment are explained. At the end of the paper, a survey was presented that was conducted on 130 respondents. From the results of the survey, it can be seen that a large number of respondents agree with most of the answers. A large number of respondents agreed that the import of cheap labor in Croatia should be reduced and that solutions should be found that would help young people and that would retain the domestic workforce in Croatia and provide them with better working conditions and set wages to be at least close to wages abroad for the same jobs as in Croatia.
