Poland’s Employment Growth Stalls in February, Year-on-Year Decline Persists at 0.8%

Poland’s employment growth showed no signs of improvement in February 2026, with the year-on-year indicator holding steady at a decline of 0.8%, according to data updated on 19 March 2026. The figure matches the previous reading for January 2026, when employment also fell 0.8% compared with the same month a year earlier.

The indicator reflects the annual change in employment for each month relative to the corresponding month of the previous year. The unchanged reading suggests that the labour market’s weak momentum has persisted into February, with no apparent easing in the year-on-year contraction so far. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely for any sign that the negative trend in employment is beginning to reverse.
