Poland remains the leading European country for Ukrainian employment. This is confirmed by the latest report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
According to the research, 78% of Ukrainians who left their country after the start of the full-scale invasion are employed in Poland. By comparison, only 31% of Ukrainian refugees have found work in Germany, and just 17% in Spain. In those countries, people rely on social benefits, whereas Poland has created real opportunities for employment.
Poland is actively harnessing the potential of labour migration — and its economy is growing as a result.
As reported by the analytical centre of the international company Gremi Personal, citing data from the ZUS website, as of May 2025 more than 810,000 Ukrainians are officially employed in Poland, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all foreign workers in the country.
