NBP: Firms plan to hire more workers
13:32
In a survey carried out in September by the central bank, nearly all of the 1,691 companies, bar those that are 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 promised to increase employment rather 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 although the employment rate is lower than the EU average, its growth dynamic is one of the highest in the EU.
