Salaries have increased in all regions

GUS notes that all voivodeships have shown an increase in average salaries compared to last year. The highest figures are traditionally recorded in regions with a large concentration of business, production, and administrative establishments.

Employment expert Vitaliy Belenets notes that the noticeable gap between regions will continue to exist. He explained: 

«Salaries in the Masovian Voivodeship are traditionally higher due to the concentration of business, government institutions, and highly qualified vacancies. In industrial regions, the growth rate is also stable, but it does not cover the difference with Warsaw».
