Poland’s labor market showed a further year-on-year deterioration in March 2026, with employment falling 0.9% compared with March 2025. The latest data, updated on 21 April 2026, indicate that the pace of decline has slightly intensified from February’s 0.8% annual drop.
Both readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, meaning February’s figure reflects the change versus February 2025, while March’s result compares employment levels to March 2025. The marginal shift from -0.8% to -0.9% suggests that, while the rate of contraction remains moderate, the labor market has yet to find a clear bottom. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely for signs of stabilization or further weakening in Poland’s employment trend.
