Average gross wages and salaries increased 6.3% year-on-year to PLN 5,489 (EUR 1,213) per month in March. Economists had expected a 6.6% rise. On a monthly basis, salaries went up 3%.
Average paid employment in Poland’s enterprise sector grew an annual 0.3% to 6.412 million people in March but fell 0.5% from the previous month. It was below market expectations of 0.8%.
Average paid employment decreased compared to previous month due to transition into retirement by some employees and the end of fixed-term contracts which were not extended, which in some cases may have been due to fear of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, GUS said on April 20.
