The article deals with the topic of political economy: the development of ratio of profits (reflected as gross operating surplus) and compensation of employees. The situation in the Czech Republic is examined, also taking into account the structure of households´ incomes. The next part is devoted to comparisons in the EU, which show significant differences as to the ratio of gross operating surplus and compensation of employees. The difference indicates the division between the core countries (Germany, Netherlands), where the compensation of employees exceeds the gross operating surplus, and the countries of the periphery (Czech Republic, Poland, Greece), where the situation is the opposite. The data suggest further research into this topic is necessary.
