There were around 903,900 people without jobs across the nation at the end of March, down by 17,900 from a month earlier, according to the Polish labour ministry.

The state-run Central Statistical Office (GUS) reported last month that the Polish jobless rate held steady at 5.5 percent in February, unchanged from January.

Meanwhile, the European Unions Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, has estimated that unemployment in Poland was a modest 3 percent in February, the second-lowest rate in the 27-nation bloc.
