Better moods in the job market in February

In February, the moods on the job market were better than the previous month; assessments of the current situation in workplaces improved, the sense of employment security increased, and the percentage of respondents considering the possibility of losing their jobs decreased, according to a CBOS survey published on Friday.

The majority (57.3 percent) of wage earners positively assessed the current situation in their workplace, with half of those surveyed (50.3 percent) considering it simply good and 7 percent consider it very good. Just under one in ten respondents described the situation in their workplace as bad (9.6 percent).

Three in ten (30.5 percent) respondents believed that the situation in their workplace was "neither good nor bad." 2.5 percent did not take a position on this matter.

Compared to January, assessments of the current situation in workplaces have improved – there was a 6 percentage point increase in those who believe the situation in their workplace is good. At the same time, fewer people described the situation in their workplace as bad or "neither good nor bad" (a decrease of 3 percentage points).
