Abstract: The Agreement Governing Cross-border Commuting in Burgenland, concluded by Austria and Hungary in 1998, opened the doors for an influx of some 2,400 Hungarian cross-border commuters to the labour market in Burgenland. It attracted individuals whose success on the Austrian labour market surpassed that of all other groups of non-national workers. They were more likely to be employed, were employed for longer periods and were paid higher wages than other workers from Hungary who arrived on the labour market of Burgenland under other schemes.
