The article is devoted to the issues of structural unemployment, its levels and peculiarities of the "displacement" of the indicator of optimal employment level by the example of the Tver region, constituent entity of the Central Federal District. We present a review of the regional bank of vacancies, namely, the staffing needs of employers and the unclaimed supply from registered unemployed. We assess the scale of informal employment in the region.
