NBP: Firms plan to hire more workers and raise salaries
13:32
In a survey carried out in September by the central bank, nearly all of the 1,691 companies, bar the state-owned, said that they plan to increase employment.
The highest surge in the number of jobs is expected to occur in the retail sector and foreign-owned companies. Demand for high-skilled experts is also on the rise.
For the two last consecutive years, more companies have declared to increase employment than decrease it (the employment rate grew by 2.8 percent q/q and 3.6 percent y/y to 7 percent). NBP pointed out that albeit the employment rate is lower than the EU average, its growth dynamic is one of the highest in the EU.
