The registered unemployment rate in July 2021 decreased by 0.1 percentage points m/m to 5.8 percent, according to the estimates of the Ministry of Development, Labor and Technology (MRPiT).
“July was the fifth month in a row when the level of registered unemployment in Poland decreased. The latest data on unemployment show that we are slowly returning to a stable economic path. The good situation in Poland’s labor market is primarily the result of protective measures taken by the government,” Iwona Michałek, Deputy Minister of Development, Labor and Technology, said.
Preliminary data show that the number of unemployed people registered in labor offices in July this year was 975,900 people and compared to the end of June this year decreased by 17,500 people, i.e. by 1.8 percent.
“The lowest registered unemployment rate was recorded in the Wielkopolskie voivodship (3.5 percent), and the highest in Warmińsko-Mazurskie (8.9 percent). In no voivodship did the unemployment rate exceed 9 percent,” the release reads.
