There were around 784,900 people without jobs across the nation at the end of June, down by 17,300 from a month earlier, according to the government.
The state-run Statistics Poland agency (GUS) reported last month that the Polish jobless rate had dropped to 5.1 percent in May, from 5.2 percent in April.
Meanwhile, the European Union’s Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, estimated last week that unemployment in Poland was a modest 2.7 percent in May, unchanged from April and the second-lowest rate in the 27-nation bloc.
