  abstract = {In the current economic context, the fiscal reforms in the EU Member States should primarily concern the stability of public finances, economic growth and competitiveness, employment growth and social equity. Many Member States continue to undertake actions in order to reform the tax system, but more often than not these measures are aimed at solving short term challenges. At the same time, reducing labour taxation should be a priority for the EU Member States to stimulate labour demand and create new jobs. In this paper, we made an analysis of the evolution of some macroeconomic indicators (labour taxation, GDP, FDI, trade openness, inflation) for the E.U. member states. Further on, using panel date models we investigated the influence of the macroeconomic indicators upon the employment rate and earnings. The econometric results revealed that the labour taxation and trade openness have a negative influence on both the employment rate and the earnings, while the GDP and FDI have a positive influence on the outcome variables.},
