There were around 772,200 people without jobs across the nation at the end of October, down by 3,800 from a month earlier, according to the government.

The state-run Statistics Poland agency (GUS) reported last month that the Polish jobless rate was stable at 5 percent in September, unchanged from August.

Meanwhile, the European Unions Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, estimated last week that unemployment in Poland was a modest 2.8 percent in September, unchanged from August and one of the lowest rates in the 27-nation bloc.
