Foreigners save our labor market
22:38
In 2021, almost 3 million documents were issued to foreigners, which allowed them to work in Poland, both short-term and seasonal, as well as longer, for one to three years, the Rzeczpospolita daily reported.
The newspaper noted that it is as much as 30 percent more than a year earlier because the economic recovery increased the demand for employees.
Andrzej Kubisiak from the Polish Economic Institute stated in Rzeczpospolita that if it were not for foreigners, the number of vacancies reached the fall of last year (153,500) would have even been three or four times higher.
This trend will continue to deepen, and 2022 may turn out to be very difficult for many companies due to the limited availability of employees on the market.
To meet the demand for employees, companies will have to reach for candidates from more and more distant regions of the world. Otherwise, the operation of many logistic centers or production plants may be paralyzed in many places.
