In Poland, the growing number of Ukrainians who receive the same wages, as well as the Poles. At the same time, employers do not exclude that in the future they will pay them and more.

This is evidenced by the results of the Personnel Service study on labor migration in the first half of 2018, the Polish edition of Puls Biznesu.

Thus, 24% of Polish employers admitted that they are ready to pay "hands" to workers from Ukraine more than Poles. In the second half of last year, this willingness was expressed by 16% of respondents. Such growth is explained by difficulties in finding workers for the appropriate qualifications.

"For some time, the reward of Poles and Ukrainians has been similar. Moments, when workers from Ukraine were paid less, quickly passed into the past, "- said the chairman of Personnel Service Krzysztof Igliot.

He noted that the need for workers from the east is growing, so employers are ready to offer them more attractive conditions: housing, access to the Internet, transfer to the workplace, which also increases real earnings.

The study also showed that, according to 89% of Polish workers, Ukrainians do not take jobs from Poles.

38% of Polish workers are inclined to believe that the influx of Ukrainians hampers the growth of salaries in Poland, and 58% of respondents that Ukrainians have no influence on this indicator.

Also, according to the research, 42% of Polish employees are positively inclined towards Ukrainians who work in Poland. Another 44% are neutral. Only 11% of respondents are negative.

Earlier, the Polish Gazeta Prawna noted that Ukrainian Zarobitschans - in second place in terms of influence on the Polish economy. According to the National Bank of Poland, Ukrainians transfer more than 90% of the total volume of transactions abroad.

Note that the Ministry of Social Policy predicts in the coming years the strengthening of migration processes in Ukraine due to the high demand for skilled labor.
