The unemployment level did not increase drastically during the pandemic - says Minister Marlena Malg.As part of the three targets - anti-crisis financial and aid - the government has already allocated over PLN 142 billion to protect jobs and ensure financial liquidity for companies.According to the latest Eurostat data in August 2020 Poland was the second country in the EU after the Czech Republic with the lowest unemployment rate reaching the rate of 3.1 against 7.4 among all EU countries and 8.1 in the Euro zone. The unemployment rate in the country was down 0.1 percentage point. lower than in July this year and remained at the same level as a year ago.Remote work has ensured business continuity and is an opportunity for professional activation of new social groupsThanks to the remote work introduced under one of the targets during the lockdown the companies could maintain the continuity of operational activities. According to data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland GUS the number of people working at home doubled in Q2 both compared to the previous year and the previous quarter. As many as 13.1 of all workers in the second quarter worked at home.A large part of the companies that started their operations on the network as a result of the lockdown will probably keep it which will have a positive impact on their development. The more so as the restrictions introduced to counter the spread of the coronavirus have changed the behavior and purchasing decisions of consumers.In order to meet the expectations of employers and employees the Ministry of Family Labor and Social Policy is working on introducing remote work to the labor code on a permanent basis. These changes may also contribute to the professional activation of people with motor disabilities and those living in further parts of Poland with limited communication possibilities.- Remote work is undoubtedly a great opportunity to improve the opportunities of people with disabilities on the labor market and their professional development but it can also be a limitation in building and maintaining interpersonal relationships and cause a disabled person to remain at home. For this reason this form of work should be available wherever it can be used but at the same time it should be a free and conscious choice of each employee. Therefore when creating regulations it is important to protect the interests of both parties to the employment relationship employee and employer which means that all issues related to remote work should be discussed in the RDS forum. We want to reach an agreement on this matter - adds Minister Marlena Malg.It is becoming easier and easier to find a job than in the first months of the pandemicThe number of job offers is growing both those reported to employment offices and those appearing on internet portals. In April this year. employers reported to poviat labor offices about 58 thousand. vacancies and job activation places. In September 2020 the number of vacancies and places for professional activation reported by employers to labor offices amounted to 109.3 thousand. and was by 13 thousand. by 13.5 higher than in August this year.Compared to the first phase of the pandemic since the end of May we have been observing an increase in the demand for labor by foreigners. For example in April this year poviat labor offices registered approx. 2 thousand jobs a day. statements currently register about 6-7 thousand of them a number comparable to that before the pandemic. It can be assumed that the demand for foreigners work in the coming years will remain at least close to 2019 which results from structural factors including demographic and qualification gaps in specific occupations and the expected economic recovery after the pandemic.
