There were around 823,700 people without jobs across the nation at the end of April, down by 23,100 from a month earlier, according to the government.

The state-run Statistics Poland agency (GUS) reported last month that the Polish jobless rate dropped to 5.4 percent in March, from 5.5 percent in February.

Meanwhile, the European Unions Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, estimated at the start of this month that unemployment in Poland was a modest 2.8 percent in March, unchanged from February and one of the lowest rates in the 27-nation bloc.
