Poland's Economy Is No Joke [63]
Poland is growing, no doubt. However, average salary is still below 1000 Euro. There are still mass immigration to the West, taking the lowest pay jobs. The economic is driven by private sector, FDI because of size of the market (there isn't another 'developing' EU country with this size of population). The development is concentrated in a few places and a few groups of ppl.
I did not realize just the fortunate few use PF
You shouldn't be surprise, first is because of English and second is not that cheap to use internet in PL.
I agree with your point of view. The poor population is growing at the same rate as the middle class. Those arguement about every country at the moment is suffering is correct, but I think we should look at the standard of suffering. Those countries are at a higher level, because they developed during the good years and it takes quite a big sum to run their system now. In here it stay the same or getting worst. Last few years were the best years of growth in PL but you can see there isn't any big improvement in public sector. Hospital, school, roads are still in poor standard. In those years the combined KM of highway built is below 100.
I do heard about ppl not geting pay for months in private (or public listed) companies in Poland, however, the issue is not that there isn't any money but when the cash flow is tight, the usual practice here or in this part of the Europe is not to pay the staffs. Same as Public sector, is not like there isn't any money to improve anything, but the money went to a few chosen one. A simple exmaple is the roads. The same roads is being repair every year. Is it because PL ppl don't know how to build road? No, because part of the building material is stolen for private use and that's why, the road built is not up to the standard and destroy very easy. Specially in the part of the countries that no improant ppl will see. Until I see there is more money spend on improving ppl living standard, I would not say "Poland's Economy is no joke" because if slightly drop in the growth or money from aboard, there will be a huge problem and will be very hard for PL to handle.
ps Pls kindly do not whoever country is worst, because we are talking about Poland not try to compare if Poland is better than africa or ukraine.
