The number of new job offers in Poland has fallen for the second month in a row, compared to the same period of 2021, a report has revealed.
Grant Thornton’s and Element’s report, published on July 11, found 288,000 new job offers published on the 50 biggest recruitment websites in June, down by 8% YoY and by 2% from June 2019, a year not yet affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
“The time of records is gone and the decline of job offers is now being seen, and the declines will likely get bigger in the months to come because high inflation, high interest rates and growing wage demands are going to make it difficult for employers to create new jobs,” Grant Thornton’s Monika Smulewicz commented.
However, Poland’s biggest cities, including Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk, have all posted gains in new job offers.
With growth at 40% YoY, IT continued to be the leading sector in new job openings. The sector was followed by legal and HR jobs, up by 27% and by 22%, respectively. (The First News/Business World Magazine)
