Unemployment to fall to 11%

The registered unemployment rate in Poland will decline to nearly 11 percent in July-September, Deputy Labor Minister Jacek Męcina told radio station TOK FM. It will then grow seasonally. Sectors such as tourism, restaurants, horticulture and agriculture are important to the Polish labor market, Męcina said. At the end of 2014 the unemployment rate is expected to be “over 12 percent but less than 13 percent,” he added. According to data from the Central Statistical Office, the registered unemployment rate in Poland was 12 percent in June compared to 12.5 percent in May.
