The objective of this study was to analyze hypothetical employment in sectors of intensive knowledge in Poland in the coming years, assuming a similar course of these changes compared to other European countries. In this paper, the method of forecasting based on Spatio-temporal analogies of Knowledge Intensive Services (KIS) employment was proposed. KIS has been treated as an indicator of innovative development. EUROSTAT database has been used in the analysis. The resulting short-term forecasts indicate a likely change in employment in this sector in the coming years. This information, although expected, is significant. Analysis of the economic situation within the development of new technologies could suggest faster employment growth. The presented method of forecasting based on spatiotemporal analogies will enable short and medium-term forecasting of economic phenomena and help the concerned agencies.
