Polish wages no longer try to catch up with Western wages

The weak zloty prevents the nominal wage gap from catching up with European Union countries.

Last year, a Pole earned on average EUR 1.17 thousand per month, which is quite low compared to more developed countries. This was, for example, only 20% of the average salary in Luxembourg (where salaries are the highest in the EU), 26.7% of the German salaries (almost EUR 4.4 thousand), 35% of the French wages or 38.6% of the EU average level.
