Poland's Labour Market Has Shifted: Where Ukrainian Workers Are Most in Demand and Where Cuts Are Being Made
2026-07-24
The Gremi Personal Analytics Centre analysed data from GUS and examined how employment is changing across key sectors of the Polish economy.
Our research shows that demand for workers remains strongest in sectors oriented towards the domestic market:
- HoReCa (+2.1%);
- food industry (+0.56%);
- retail trade (+0.4%);
- logistics (+0.3%).
