Data from Eurostat, the EU’s statistical office, show Poland has the bloc’s second-lowest unemployment rate, the Ministry of Family and Social Polish has announced.
The ministry posted on its website that the country recorded a jobless rate of 2.8% in January, down from 2.9% in December 2022.
“The EU statistical office once more confirms the good and stable situation on our labour market,” the ministry wrote. “We achieved the second best result in the European Union, only the Czech Republic is ahead of us with a result of 2.5%.”
The ministry said Poland had coped well with global crises including the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Poland had previously shared second place in the EU’s unemployment ranking with Germany, which slipped to third place in January with a rate of 3%. (PAP/Business World Magazine)
