Polish unemployment drops to 9.6 percent

The rate of joblessness in Poland dropped in October to 9.6 percent, in line with expectations.

The figure stood at 9.7 percent the previous month, according to the Central Statistical Office (GUS). In October, as many as 1.52 million Poles were unemployed, GUS said. “[The drop] might actually be a trend because the fundamentals of the Polish economy look really positive and stable so the labour market is also tightening.
