Rzeczpospolita salary study shows disparities between Warsaw and provinces

According to a review of average salaries in Poland prepared for Rzeczpospolita by Hewitt Associates, Polish companies pay their employees less than companies with foreign capital. People in even very high positions earn less if they work outside Warsaw, with differences as great as 100%. Managing directors or presidents earn from zl.10,000 gross monthly up to zl.20,000 gross. University graduates generally have problems finding well-paying jobs. In some regions of Poland, recent graduates can expect only salaries at the minimum level, currently zl.760 gross. Graduates who care more about their careers try to find work in Warsaw, where they count on earning more money and achieving professional success. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.D.
