77,000 citizens of Ukraine started working in Poland under a special law that gives Ukrainian refugees simplified access to the labor market. The law came into force on March 26, 2022.
Half of them do light physical work – 47.5%. Another 14.1% – employees of industrial enterprises, 10.3% are employed in the service and trade sector, 8.5% – office workers and 4% are specialists.
This is reported by the analytical center of the international employment company Gremi Personal, citing data from the Ministry of Family and Social Policy of Poland.
This result is assessed by the ministry as good, since the majority of visitors from Ukraine are children, some have already returned home, and some work remotely from Poland. The largest number of employed people is in the industrialized voivodeships: Mazowieckie with the center in Warsaw, Lower Silesia with the center in Wroclaw, Lesser Poland with the center in Krakow and Pomeranian with a center in Gdansk.
“Polish labor market is slowly adjusting to the current situation and inevitable changes in migration: Ukrainian men will soon go to Poland will not return, so businesses are trying to reorient production processes for women. During these two months of war, we employed more women than men. They are mostly work in food processing plants and logistics warehouses with a schedule that allows you to have time to care for children. Often, women consciously choose physical work in order to be able to psychologically “switch” after the horrors of the war experienced“, – Anna Dzhobolda, Director of the Recruitment Department of the Gremi Personal agency, comments
According to the expert, at the end April-early May in Poland starts the “high season” in food production, trade and logistics, tourism and HoReCa, which will increase the number of vacancies for Ukrainian women.
