Number of new job offers in Poland down by almost 20%

In July, the number of new job offers in Poland dropped by 18.9 percent y/y, wrote the Grant Thornton company in report conducted in cooperation with Element. This is the second month in a row with a similar result.

According to a study conducted by Grant Thornton and Element, in July 2020, 246,300 new job offers appeared on the 50 largest recruitment portals in Poland,  compared to 246,200 in June. This number may suggest, according to Grant Thorton, that there has been some stabilization in the labor market.

“After the first very bad months, in June and July the labor market stabilized at the level of about 15-20 percent lower than a year ago. It may be a harbinger of a new normality. The epidemic could shrink the Polish labor market by about 15-20 percent," the analysts indicated.
