There are two new jobs per one liquidated job in Poland

Over 132,000 new jobs were created in the Polish labor market only in the third quarter of this yea, .and the number of vacancies increased by 68.5 percent annually. According to the latest data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS), there are more than two newly created jobs per one liquidated position. Personnel Service experts indicate that the gaps in the sectors most in need, such as industry responsible for a quarter of all vacancies, and construction, where over 22,000 workers are missing, can be filled in by immigrants from Ukraine.

For comparison, a year earlier there were drops compared to 2019, both in terms of the number of job vacancies (by 38.7 percent) and newly created jobs (by 16.4 percent) and liquidated jobs (by 24.7 percent).

"The growing number of newly created jobs indicates that the labor market is developing strongly. At the same time, however, we are dealing with a demographic problem, because employers have no one to fill these jobs. OECD predicts that the challenge for the economies will be the aging of the population and the decreasing number of people of working age. And this will intensify migration," Krzysztof Inglot, labor market expert, founder of Personnel Service, noted.
