“Best April 6 years”

 

In April, the unemployment rate in annual terms amounted to eleven point two percent – as announced today, the Central Statistical Office. And this is the best April for 6 years – explains chief economist Monika Kurtek Postbank. – Despite the fact that the April data from the economy were weaker than in March, mainly related to growth in industrial production and retail sales, the unemployment rate fell further. The impact of the decline in unemployment in particular are seasonal jobs in agriculture, horticulture or construction. This factor in a few months will bring us the unemployment rate to a single digit level. Also in the second half of the year should we encourage more and faster creation of new jobs in the economy. They are now a very good chance that at the end of the year the unemployment rate will be around 9.8 percent. – Says the expert.


 

Unemployment will slowly fell

 

The chief economist of Baku Citi Handlowy, Piotr Kalisz believes that the surprise is not that big, but positive. The summer months are the time for seasonal improvement in the labor market. According to expert in the coming year unemployment will continue to orchards, although not as fast as before.
expert in an interview with IAR acknowledges that the single-digit unemployment announced for this year by politicians seems to be likely. Piotr Kalisz emphasizes that speaks of this most economic forecasts. The economist adds, however, that other indicators, such as the Labour Force Survey now show that unemployment in Poland is already a digit.
Earlier this month, data on unemployment in April presented the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. According to this information, the indicator fell to 11.3 percent.


 
 
 
 

vacation unemployment below 10 percent.

The observed for some time, the decline in unemployment will continue also in the coming months. Ministry of Labour expects that the unemployment rate in the summer reaches single digits. Economic growth and the injection of EU funds should contribute to the creation of new jobs. Due to demographic trends employers will be forced to compete for workers.

According to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy in March. Poland’s unemployment rate stood at 11.7 percent. This result was better not only since February this year., When given by the CSO index stood at 12 per cent., But also in relation to March last year (13.5 percent.).

– For several months, seeing falling unemployment, so it is constant trend – says in an interview with the news agency Newseria Minister of Labour and Social Policy Władysław Kosiniak- Kamysz. – So we have a good news for all those seeking employment. In our view, this trend is not reversed quickly, or in April or May. The decline is clear and expected in the coming months.


 
 
 

Even in the summer it is possible to descend the key to the economy and households ratio below 10 percent. Contribute to this seasonal work, for example. In agriculture. Also, construction companies during the summer months usually accelerate the implementation of previously launched investment.

– It is worth fighting to the end of the year single-digit able to present in Poland – defines Kosiniak- Kamysz. – It would be a remarkable success of Polish entrepreneurs, domestic labor market and employment, from which we could all enjoy.

The last time the monthly unemployment rate was below 10 percent. in December 2008, when it amounted to 9.5 percent. The lowest in the twenty-first century, fell in October of the same year, to a level of 8.8 percent.

Data on the number of working are even more advantageous

 

According to GUS, in the fourth quarter of last year working population it accounted for 56.3 percent. people over 15 years of age, or 17.4 million. The work in this group was 16 million, and 1.4 million were unemployed.

– The number of employees is today the largest since 1989, and there may be more – thinks Kosiniak- Kamysz. – If I will use funds from the Labour Fund, the middle of the EU, and economic growth is upheld external factors, the chances of the Polish labor market to improve the stability of employment in the coming years, and thus more jobs and improve their quality, they are very large.

As pointed out, the focus of the domestic labor market is undergoing a dominant position with the employer to the employee.

– is due to the economic conditions, the activity of Poles and significant demographic changes – explains Kosiniak- Kamysz. – Increasingly smaller pool of potential employees will be available on the market, which means that companies will compete with them. How can you do this? Primarily through an increase in wages. Position worker from month to month and from year to year will grow stronger.

Given the data presented by Eurostat, which uses different methodology, unemployment in Poland has long been located in single digits.

– According to them, we have currently only 7.8 per cent. unemployment, and so the fall is even more visible. The country with the highest ratio of unemployed persons went through in 10 years and well below the average chasing such countries as Germany and Austria, which now has the lowest rate of unemployment – says Minister Kosiniak- Kamysz.
