19% of Poles fear job losses

Recent research by Work Service shows that 19 percent of Poles are afraid of losing their jobs. According to experts this problem is partly due to the lack of mobility of Polish employees, in other words the lack of incentive to move from place to place for work. Unemployment in eastern regions is higher than in Poland as a whole. This is mainly due to lower investments rates in these areas which therefore results in higher unemployment. As much as 19 percent of Poles fear losing their  jobs, mostly in central Poland, where 30 percent share job insecurity, whereas in the western regions it is only one in ten. Workers in south-western regions are most secure in their jobs (91 percent) and in northern regions (89 percent). The majority of new job openings will be created in western Poland where almost 50 percent of firms plan to recruit  in the upcoming months. In central Poland 26 percent of companies plan to take on more employees and only 13 percent in eastern regions .
