Why are there little jobs in Poland?
Well, you are almost asking two questions; one about Poles in the UK and one about the unemployment rate in Poland. The answer to the first question is that Polish professionals have been moving to the UK in flocks after Poland joined the EU in 2004 in search for higher paying jobs. Regarding the lack of jobs in poland, people sometimes over-analyze the reason behind Poland’s high unemployment rate. The biggest factor in this situation is that the children of the Polish baby-boomers have reached their early 20’s and are inundating the job market. Unemployment rates should have peaked around a few years ago in theory. This is true in practice as well, since unemployment rates have dropped since the mid 2000’s.
