Czech national statistical data on sick leave, unemployment, income, the Gini coefficient, and their psychological reflection in respective districts of the Czech Republic are compared with the European data. The poorer Czech districts report a higher sick leave and higher unemployment rate. This Czech finding differs from other European countries’ findings. Some indicators of health (e.g. the number of sick leave cases) are affectable by the governmental interventions.
