GUS: Significant decline in jobs created by medium and big companies

There were 601,900 new job vacancies in Poland in 2015, which means a 2.1 percent y/y decrease in comparison to 2014, the Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS) reported. The poorer job creation results were found in medium-sized companies: enterprises employing 10-49 persons created 15.1 percent fewer vacancies on the market, than in the previous year. Moreover, big companies (more than 49 employees) also reported a decline in job creation, but only by 1.5 percent.

However, increases in the number of new vacancies were observed in small firms, which employ fewer than 10 people. Here, the number of created jobs grew by 7.1 percent.
