| Abstract: | The paper is concerned with decreasing state ownership in post-communist Eastern Europe and a concomitant decline in the proportion
employed in the state sector. Many individuals have shifted into private sector employment, self-employment or unemployment.
The literature on sectoral shifts in employment in Eastern Europe is summarised, and from this it is argued that there will
be a growing differentiation between private sector employees and state sector employees in economic, social and political
terms. Data is then analysed based on a survey in 1995 of around 1000 households in each of four cities – Budapest, Prague,
Warsaw and Krakow. Similar patterns emerged in the four cities. Consistent differences in working conditions and rewards are
already evident between the self-employed, private sector and state sector. These conflicting economic interests are reflected
in contrasting attitudes to the economy and polity amongst those employed in different sectors.
