Poland’s jobless rate dropped again in May by 1.5 percent year-on-year to 9.2 percent, according to the country’s Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. It’s a 0.3-percent drop month-on-month, the ministry said. “Unemployment dropped for the third consecutive month…a clear sign we’re now looking at an employee’s market in Poland,” said Elżbieta Rafalska, Poland’s minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy.
The number of people without work dropped below the symbolic 1.5 million people mark in May, marking further improvement for the local labor market. The unemployment rate has been dropping all over the country, Rafalska said, with the biggest improvement reported in the Mazovian region.
