“Eurostat data once again confirm a good and stable situation on our labour market. While the unemployment rate is increasing or stagnating in other EU countries , ours is decreasing. We achieved the second best result in Europe – 2.9 percent. These numbers are proof that government policy is working.
says the Minister of Family and Social Policy Marlena Maląg.
We are constantly monitoring the situation and reacting on an ongoing basis. Thanks to appropriate actions, we saved millions of jobs that were at risk during the pandemic.
The war in Ukraine is another test. Citizens of this country fleeing from Putin’s regime have found both shelter and employment in our country.”,
