Not much, but we'll take it

"October is showing a positive tendency, but I still remember that 2.9 million people are without jobs," says Deputy Prime Minister Hausner. The Polish national office of statistics, GUS, will release the official data on October's unemployment sometime during the second half of November. In Hausner's view, the next four months will be the toughest in the employment market. "This is a natural occurrence due to the fact that there will be no seasonal work available. Therefore, we cannot expect much improvement during that period of time. I expect, however, to end this year with 19% unemployment," he says.
Most experts speculate that unemployment will increase from around 19.2% to 19.5% by the end of this year.
