Eight out of 10 Poles monitor spending because of inflation

According to a survey by Pracuj.pl, eight out of ten Poles say they pay more attention to their expenses and salary due to inflation. Almost two-thirds of respondents (64%) are dissatisfied with their current salary due to inflation and lack of a pay raise. Nearly half of those surveyed (47%) indicate that inflation has made them more willing to change jobs than last year. However, the percentage of respondents open to this change has decreased since September 2022. Although six out of ten respondents say they have received a pay raise in the last year, 74% of them still say that their salary is enough for less than it was a year ago. About half of respondents (49%) say they do not currently have sufficient funds to save for the future. Thirty percent of those surveyed say their current salary is not enough for daily life, necessitating careful budget management. To improve their situation and catch up on wage growth, 34% of respondents have decided to take on a new job. Women (39%) were significantly more likely than men (29%) to take this step.

The youngest generations (ages 18-24 and 25-34) are most likely to take this step.
