The presence of the different economically active entities also significantly influences the numbers of inhabitants not only residing in the agglomeration but also migrating there for work. Due to this facts both core cities face the issue of sustainability of economically active population which requires certain level of civic amenities being expected to be provided by the core cities. The analyses of major employers presented in the paper show the shares of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors facilitating the forecasts of future development in economic analyses of the concerned territory.
