The reading was in line with an earlier estimate by the government.

There were around 810,200 people without jobs across the nation at the end of July, compared with 818,000 a month earlier, according to the state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) office.

According to the European Union’s Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, unemployment in Poland was a modest 2.7 percent in June, the second-lowest rate in the 27-nation European Union.
