Registered unemployment rate down to 5.1% in May

The registered unemployment rate in May this year was 5.1 percent, or 0.1 percentage points lower than a month earlier, Minister of Family and Social Policy Marlena Maląg said.

"Two years of a pandemic, two years of fighting for every job and for Polish companies to stay afloat. State intervention is tailor-made and precise. Thanks to it, MRiPS estimates show that in May the unemployment rate is estimated at 5.1 percent," Maląg said.

"This is the lowest unemployment since 1990. Only in 2019 was there one month when the unemployment rate was 5 percent," the minister added.

According to this year's budget law, the registered unemployment rate is expected to be 5.9 percent at the end of 2022.
