“The situation (on the labour market) is stabilizing" after the economy took a hit from the coronavirus crisis, said Labour Minister Marlena Maląg.
Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS) reported last month that the Polish jobless rate stood at 6 percent in May, up from 5.8 percent in April.
Maląg said last month that some 5 million jobs have been saved throughout the country thanks to measures including a massive relief and stimulus package that aims to shield the economy from the coronavirus.
The EU’s statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, reported last week that unemployment in Poland was a modest 3 percent in May, the second-lowest rate in the 27-nation bloc.
