Why do Polish employees want to come to Great Britain?
In order to understand where the economic emigration of Poles comes from we have to compare the standard of living of an average employee in Poland and Great Britain. It is difficult for an employee in Poland to meet the most urgent needs when the minimum salary equals GBP 150.00 monthly. Buying a car or a house on hire purchase is almost impossible. Whereas, the minimal salary in Great Britain supported by inborn thriftiness of Poles not only enable them to live on the ordinary level but also to save money and buy a car or repay the mortgage instalments.
