The average wage among polish immigrants in Ireland is 1500zl per week or 6000zl per month.

For polish people in the construction industry, the minimum wage is 500zl per day.

Thats why they have moved away from Poland dannyboy, they can earn in a week what they would normally only get in a month in Poland.

Thats true.

My partner who is Polish is self employed and makes about 1.5 times what I make per month, but she couldn't even get a job in a pizza shop in Poland.

She has said she is never going back (well unless we move there for a short while after we get married)

Well I'm an expat teacher and I'm clearing 2800 zl netto, Zus paid for by company. And I'm working 25hrs per week. So its not all doom and gloom for English teachers. The Poles are obviously gagging at the bit to learn English so it benefits all and sundry.

Why in Poland if the average wage is so Low how come land and building prices are so high in comparison?

Also, how can anyone afford the Audi R8, which is advertised on some billboards.

Not everyone here is poor. In fact, there are a lot of wealthy people in Poland.

And a lot of these people realize that they wouldn't gain much by going abroad.

If they didn't have money, they wouldn't be making PL KILLER a wealthy man.

Ten or so covers with a 10zl tip each [a day] would bring a waiters wage up. It's not impossible.

In a good restaurant that would be 10% for one table.

Besides, I only gave an example. It could be twenty covers at 5zl.

that would be 10% for one table

do you think that would be going to the waiter pocket alone !!!!!! dont think that

good restourant here dont put 10 % only fancy places do a

so a waiter dont make 5000 month maybe one in a million so is not the rule here

I had a call today from a company in Poland after they saw my CV and they asked how much I'd be prepared to work for. I told them 8000 a month (gross) which is quite a pay cut for me. Even so, I guess I won't be hearing from them again although I have discovered the company is in fact American.

not true. Poles tip, but not as religiously as, say, Americans...even in lower budget resteraunts and pubs it is considered good class to leave a little if a waiter comes to your table a few times and the service is good..

you can't rely on official statistics when it comes to things like the income. The true income is always higher. I just looked up the median income in Michigan - it says $48000/year per household.

Let me tell you something - i don't know anybody who makes this little here. nobody. I can't imagine anybody surviving on 48K per family. But these statistics include people on welfare with free housing and food stamps, soldiers, retirees, single people who live along, and - most importantly people who don't want to pay any taxes, who in fact hide their true income. Between me and my wife we make almost 3x that and trust me- we are not wealthy by any means!

So if they say 2700 count it as at least double; plus you have cheaper cost of living etc.
