Ukrainians have successfully filled vacancies

The main reasons for Ukrainians' decision to migrate are economic factors, according to a survey that the Faculty of Management at the Gdańsk University of Technology conducted on a sample of employees hired by Gremi Personal. More than 30 percent of respondents say they earn a much higher income working in Poland than in Ukraine, and 16 percent cited the desire to help their families as the reason for coming to Poland. 60 percent had previously guaranteed employment. 

The survey indicates that the largest number of vacancies was recorded in industrial processing, construction, trade and repair of cars, transportation, and warehousing, and this is where employed Ukrainians most often ended up, filling the gaps left by Poles migrating to the West.

"The results didn't surprise us, as Gremi Personal primarily supplies workers to manufacturing, industrial plants, and the entire logistics and warehousing infrastructure network. We take on the entire administrative and legal procedure, as well as provide accommodation and medical care for the employees," Tomasz Bogdevic, Gremi Personal's CEO, said. 

More than 30 percent of respondents said they earn a much higher income working in Poland than in Ukraine. Most people emigrated several months or even several years before the February 24, 2022 war.
