Covid-19: nearly 15% firms to employ fewer migrants
20:20
Problems related to the Covid-19 epidemic have not affect the preferences regarding the employment of immigrants of approximately 73 percent of companies but about 15 percent have indicated that in the future they will employ fewer immigrants than before, according to research included in the report named “Immigrants in the Polish economy” by the National Bank of Poland (NBP).
According to NBP, a more important effect of the pandemic than the temporary closure of borders is the restriction of economic activity, which will affect both Polish and Ukrainian employees.
Meanwhile, NBP estimates that the employment of foreigners probably decreased by approximately 10 percent between February and the end of May 2020.
