According to the Central Statistical Office (KSH), in February 2023, 4,691,000 people worked, i.e. 26,000 more than a year earlier. All this means that employment is still at a level close to 4.7 million – stated the Ministry of Economic Development (GFM) in its statement on Friday, commenting on the latest data.
According to KSH data, the number of unemployed people reached 195.8 thousand, i.e. the unemployment rate was 4 percent. This is still extremely favorable, the unemployment rate in the EU is one and a half times higher than this. The combined increase in employment and unemployment means an increase in the activity of the labor force, i.e. more and more people are appearing on the labor market who were previously not visible in the registers, they added.

To this end, the government has already adopted 20 measures.
