16:44
The Minister of Labor and Social Policy Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that it is possible that the unemployment rate will fall below 10 percent this year.
"January was the most difficult month, followed by February, when the unemployment rate remained at 12 percent. This was the worst period this year," the minister said during a press briefing held to sum up the six months of the ministry's activity in Ewa Kopacz's cabinet.
"The one-digit unemployment rate is certainly possible in the summer, we will make an effort to keep it at that level until the end of the year," he added.
The minister said that he expects that the unemployment rate will fall by around 2 percent this summer.
