More than one in every four Polish workers, 27%, have changed jobs in the last six months alone, the highest rate in the EU, citing better employment conditions (26%) and desire for change (27%) as the main reasons.
Gimme a new job
Recruitment agency Randstad released quarterly survey results this week, having been running them since 2010, this time covering 35 countries including 15,000 people in Europe. The respondents included permanent / open-ended contractors, temporary contractors and the self-employed.
Unemployment in Poland in June was 10.4%.
34% of Poles believe that there is a medium-to-high chance of losing their jobs, 5% above the EU average. Of them,
- 20% are self-employed (indicating fear of loss of customers),
- 32% have open-ended/permanent contracts
- 45% have temporary employment contracts
- 47% have single-project contracts
Polish have a high level of belief that they would be able to find a job within 6 months. 73% believe they could find any job, 67% believing that it could be the same level as their present job. Belief levels are higher only in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria.
Only France and the UK have a higher European mobility index than Poland. Worldwide, the USA, India and Turkey are leaders of the mobility pack.
