Polish century is coming brothers. we will finally rise from the ashes and reach out to greatness we once had
Samuel Gonzalez
Congratulations Poland! Thanks for sending us 100 000 plumbers and another 100 000 transient contracting workers in construction and logistics to lower your employment rate and skirt our workers rights with dubious foreign contracts!
Evan Moore
not my problem
Charles Mitchell
Thing is, while some people are unemployed officially, they still do work at home - like cook, clean and take care of the home - usually wives or other female relatives and grandparents. So I wonder how lower that rate actually is.

before the war in Ukraine I would believe it but now I realize we're doomed
>unstability in eastern Europe
>expensive energy sources
>refugees
>lack of EU funding due to rule of law concerns
imo things look rather grim

Yes but it was always like that, even more back then than now

I hope for total collapse, so can murder people unopposed, steal their shit and fuck off to Brazil with my loot.

Poles do the same work as Westerners for 1/3 of the salary.

Easton Sanchez
Nah, in 2004 if you already got a job you indeed worked for 1/3 of what westerners made but getting a job was really hard
now everyone can get a job, even if they're still rather lowly paid. But many less people emigrate out of Poland now

wonder how bad the brain drain was
Julian Foster
at least we have nice highways now
Blake Parker
Meds can start seething at eastern Europe now instead of Germany
Cameron Foster
you can only talk about brain drain if the people who lived in your country could find a job and use their skills in favor of your country yet they chose to emigrate out of there
if they couldn't, were unemployed and their skills were useless here, then there is no point talking about brain drain, same like gold or oil only have actual value if your society knows how to make use of them, otherwise they're worth nothing.
in fact, there is much more severe brain drain out of western European countries to America rather than from eastern Europe to western Europe.

It's a bit of a meme. For one talented person, you have like three tracksuit-wearing fellas.

What am I supposed to talk about in a thread about Poland?

>Poles do the same work as Westerners for 1/3 of the salary.
LMAO, salaries were like 10 times lower than in Germany or Britain back then. Even Greece and Spain were considered hot shit
Now the difference when taking into account cost of living (enjoy renting a room in London for £2000/month) are so little, there's no point working abroad except for Norway and maybe Netherlands
Ryan Watson
cost of living has greatly risen here too, rent in Warsaw is higher than in Berlin
also emigration to the west still makes sense unless you work in one of few industries with relatively "western" salaries here like IT
Christopher Butler
emigration to the west means working in a warehouse for the rest of your life lmao
naive child

and? all what matters is how much you get for it, someone has to be a trash collector
Isaiah Nguyen
Tfw you move to the West only to be judged for your origin (even tolerant people do this subconsciously).
