Title: Minimum Wage and Labour Market
Abstract: The minimum wage has been a controversial issue since 1912, when Massachusetts (USA) passed the first state minimum wage act. The Czech Republic has had a statutory national minimum wage since 1990 (Act no. 65/1965 Coll., or the Labour Code; the specific minimum wage levels and the conditions for applying it were then set by  a Government Resolution in 1991). The paper deals with some results of empirical research into the effects of the minimum wage on enterprises and employment and compares the statutory minimum wage in the Czech Republic and selected countries.
Keywords: unemployment, labour market, employment, minimum wage, wage distribution

Title: Tourism Between Czechoslovakia and Germany in the Interwar Period
Abstract: This paper deals with relations between Czechoslovakia and Germany in the sphere of tourism. The interwar period was a significant phase in the development of this industry. German tourists represented the largest group of foreign visitors. German clients became irreplaceable especially for West Bohemian spas; their economic situation was significantly affected by the decline in the German visit rates in the 1930s. Besides the economic depression, the tourism between Czechoslovakia and Germany was affected by the political change that took place in Germany in 1933. Due to the economic depression, clearing agreements were newly made in the tourist industry too, because they ensured at least some economic relations between the new isolating economies. Tourism helped the settlement of frozen outstanding debts. Tourism also played this new role between Czechoslovakia and Germany.
Keywords: Czechoslovakia, Germany, Economic Relations, tourism

Title: English Expressions in the German Language Used as a Marketing Tool
Abstract: Denglisch, sometimes spelled Denglish, describes a language based on German grammar that includes a jumble of English and pseudo-English idioms. It is used in all German-speaking countries. Denglish owes its existence in part to the cultural predominance of the English language in pop music and the international computer slang.  In German commercials, English advertising claims are very trendy but also confusing because of poor understanding. In Germany, some people object to this "invasion" of English words, and view it as the "bad" influence of English on contemporary German. But such objections seem to have only little chance of stopping this trend.
Keywords: Denglish, German commercials, advertising agency, marketing tool
