In the article, the author shows the changes in the national and gender–specific structure of the civil service in Slovenia immediately after the First World War. With the departure of the Germans and the arrival of many refugees from Littoral and Carinthia, as well as the changes in the employment of women, the situation of civil servants in Carniola and the Slovenian part of Styria, as well as in Carinthia before the referendum, changed considerably. Quantitative studies showed that the changes in the national sense were smaller in Carniola than in the Slovenian part of Styria, where Germans were largely replaced by locals and young practitioners. A review of the numerous applications in the archive reveals many dilemmas in connection with the decision as to whether someone would keep their job. The influx of civil servants from Littoral Coast in Carniola was also regulated by the National Council in Trieste. By 1921, the vacancies for civil servants were more or less filled, and refugees had less chance of being employed if they had a lower level of education.
