The article examines the regional differentiation of factors influencing the development of trade services, and the internal connection of development trends with regional characteristics. Also, when forming a system of trend indicators, regional indicators should have the same sign as general indicators. It is based on the fact that priority factors can be assessed on the basis that signs of trends make it possible to study socio-economic, technical and technological patterns of development. The state of regional development of trade services was analyzed in certain dynamics by comparing indicators of territorial integrity and territory structure. The level of resource efficiency of the trade service network, changes in the foreign trade system, changes in population, socio-economic, technological changes in lifestyle, the level of innovativeness of the trade environment and the distribution of capital of trade enterprises reveal development. trends. were assessed as the main elements of influence.

The article examines at the regional level such indicators as population size, in particular, growth rates and the share of the economically active population, employment and unemployment levels, changes in the ratio of urban and rural populations, as sources of formation of the labor market. An analysis of regional similarities and differences in the dynamics of these indicators has been carried out. Based on the analysis of the trend in the share of the region's population in the country's population, it is assumed that this social process is an important factor in the economic process associated with the formation of labor resources and optimization of the labor market. In recent years, changes in the ratio of urban and rural populations have been assessed as a factor causing regional differences in the relative rates of the economically active population. It was revealed that the sources of formation of the labor market create a trend of change in the same time periods. It is explained that the jump points of unemployment levels in the regions are connected with the strong fluctuations in the growth picture of the economically active population. This is also based on the fact that the growth rate of the unemployment rate is not collinear with the growth rate of the economically active population.
