The Polish labor market is facing a clear challenge: there is a drastic shortage of workers in certain fields. According to one of the country's largest news portals, Gazeta.pl, some specialists are currently offered salaries of almost 2800 euros per month (about 12 zlotys).
The labor shortage is particularly acute in the construction, logistics, IT, and healthcare sectors. Finding qualified specialists is becoming a real challenge for some employers, especially in regions where the youth population is decreasing and the older generation is withdrawing from the active labor market. As a result, some companies are willing to offer not only high salaries, but also additional motivational measures: accommodation, transportation costs, more flexible work schedules.
The growing need for workers is encouraging businesses to seek help abroad. In recent years, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Moldovans and Lithuanians have been actively invited to Poland. Although Lithuanians are more likely to choose to work in Western Europe, neighboring Poland is becoming increasingly competitive – both due to higher salaries and close geographical location and cultural similarities.
Experts urge those who want to work in Poland carefully evaluate the proposed conditions. It is important to check in advance whether the salary will be official, whether a legally concluded employment contract is offered, and what guarantees are provided for the employee. It is also necessary to assess the cost of living, especially in large cities, where salaries are often higher, but housing prices are also higher.
The portal "Gazeta.pl", which published the article, is one of the largest and most reliable news sources in Poland, belonging to the media group "Agora". The portal consistently monitors labor market developments, analyzes social and economic trends and provides data based on both official institutions and expert comments. Such reports allow not only local residents, but also potential employees from neighboring countries to better understand the real situation on the Polish labor market.
