In June, 783,500 people were registered unemployed across the nation, down from 802,300 people in May, the IAR news agency reported.

On June 30, the European Union’s Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, estimated 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.
