Eurostat informed that in April the unemployment rate in Poland amounted to 3%. „Once again, these data confirm that we are in the lead of the EU countries with the lowest level of unemployment. In Poland, it is more than half lower than the EU average” – points out the Minister of Family and Social Policy, Marlena Maląg.
This April, the unemployment rate in the European Union countries amounted to 6.% – according to the Eurostat data. In the eurozone, it was 6.8%. Poland – together with Germany – was ranked second among the countries with the lowest unemployment rate (3%).

Eurostat confirmed in its data that the situation in the labour market in Poland is stable. For as many as four months, unemployment in Poland, calculated according to this methodology, has been estimated at the same level of 3%” – stresses Minister Marlena Maląg.
