Abstract: Thouroughly prepared for a long time and carried out according to specific steps, the enlargement process of the European Union generates undoubtedly positive effects for the Member States. However, there are also involved certain negative phenomena. The purpose of the present paper is to analyze the situation of the labour force in Romania and to identify the favoured fields of activity and those seriously threatened by the deficits produced as a result of the persons' freedom of movement in the newly created economic and geographic space. Still on course, the research done so far allows an interesting X-ray of the current state of things in the medical, education and construction fields, confronted more and more with the scarcity of human resources and justifies thus our intention to enlarge the area of investigation. At the same time, the paper approaches also some favoured fields, such as the banking field, which attract and maintain easily the labour force due to their nature of activity and to their efficiency. On the basis of these conclusions, we will be able at a further stage of this research to develop mechanisms that can be used, at the macro and microeconomic level, in the view of diminishing the economic and social costs of the deficits of competences registered in numerous business fields in Romania.
