The figure means that two thirds of working-age Ukrainians who have settled in Poland after fleeing the Russian invasion, are now in legal employment.

The new study, conducted by EWL, a recruitment agency, and the University of Warsaw, collates the characteristics of the Ukrainian people who have crossed  into Poland and stayed, with the profiles of those who have gone further West, to Germany. 

Poland’s welcomed millions of refugees from Ukraine in recent months, and is working to ensure that newcomers can participate in the labor market and gain economic stability – as of July more than 385,000 refugees had found jobs in the country. 🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦
