Average wage in Poland (towns / cities)

what is normal wage in small cities in poland?

Hi it's around 1,200 - 1,500 PLZ a month

Now i know why they're comming over here..

A single jobless mummy can get that amount per week in the UK for doing **** all

Great! Isn't it....

I wasn't joking about the single mothers terri.

There is a frighting amount of Polish and other EU Single Mummies in this country.

Having babies are like their national past time in this

You would think being a foreigner in a foreign land, with the sole purpose to earn some money would have babies very low down on their priority list.

The opposite is true, they absolutely LOVE having babies here and the reason becomes evident.

ffs hudsonhicks give it a rest,
funny that the Polish women I have met here have been workers....

More like 1800-2400.

In small cities? Umm, no.

Wednesday is correct, 1200-1500zl net per month as a "normal" salary.

Merged: average wage in poland

hello all what is the average wage in Poland actual average not what government statics say the job is for labour manual worker say in pozan, krackow, warsaw does it vary from city to city 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

thank you

I'm not sure I understand the question.
Are you asking for yourself?

no we are looking to set up factory here so I am asking about polish people

Labour costs will vary significantly depending on exactly Poland you locate your factory, i.e. which province and which sub-market in that province. But a decent real estate company can give you up-to-date data regarding all of that.

Is this the best way to find out?

Where in Poland? People to do what?

If you are looking to employ unskilled workers, then you need only pay minimum wage.

Not really. Locate a factory on the outskirts of Warsaw and minimum wage will get you low quality staff and a high staff turnover. Locate a factory on the outskirts of a town with high unemployment and few decently paid jobs and that same wage gets you much higher quality staff and a far lower staff turnover, i.e. you real staff cost is lower.

Say krackow what is the minimum

Minimum is the same all over Poland. Can't you google it? Why do you expect people here to do your homework for you?

I WAS TALKING WITH HARRY NOT YOU

If you can't spell the names of cities, you may want to consider doing more research.
If you had done any research, you'd know that Krakow is a rubbish place for factories: land can easily be five times the prices found in central Poland and there aren't many suitable premises, meaning that the vacancy rate is low and the rents are high.

And if you had done any research, you'd know that the minimum wage is the same nationwide but, as I have already told you once, it gets you different things in different places.

Is this in all small city in Poland

Is what in all small cities in Poland?
You do know that Krakow isn't a small city in Poland, don't you?

Nice post, Monitor, interesting reading.


If I had a złoty for every time I'd wanted to say that... :D

What isn't so easily quantify are the grey/black market wages nor the myriad of ways in which people augment their meagre salaries.
The other area that is hard to quantify are repatriated wages, remittance from abroad. Many Polish retirees have money sent from abroad from their offspring, this is common practise. Even a young Pole earning the minimum wage in the Uk would be able to send a money home and £100 or 500zl can go along way.


easy to quantify ..... doh
