WARSAW: Poland has seen a renewed increase in the number of job vacancies in Q2 after stabilization in Q1, a labor market report by the National Bank of Poland showed.
“The newest data indicate that in Q2 the number of vacancies at job agencies is increasing again,” after stabilization in Q1, the report reads. In Q1 the number of vacancies grew at a much slower pace than at the end of 2014 but reached the highest level since 2008, NBP analysts wrote.
A particularly strong month-on-month increase observed in May may have had to do with a greater scale of state subsidies. “The published data on the total number of vacancies in the first two months of Q2 indicate that after stabilization in April, the number of vacancies in May grew by as much as 12%,” the report reads. “Such a strong m/m growth could have been tied, at least partly, to the appearance of a greater number of subsidized work places.”
