Year-on-year wage growth in Poland’s corporate sector slowed in August 2026, with the indicator easing to 5.6% from 6.8% recorded in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 21 September 2026, show a continued deceleration in wage dynamics when comparing each month to the same period a year earlier.
According to the methodology, the current August figure reflects the change in corporate sector wages versus August of the previous year, while the July reading captured the change against July a year earlier. The moderation from 6.8% to 5.6% suggests that upward pressure on wages in Poland’s corporate sector has been easing as the summer progresses, potentially signaling a shift in the balance between labor demand and supply or a cooling in inflation-linked pay pressures.
