There were around 895,700 people without jobs across the nation at the end of December, down by 3,100 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 had dropped to 5.4 percent in November, from 5.5 percent in October.

Meanwhile, the European Union’s Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, estimated this week that unemployment in Poland was a modest 3 percent in November, the third-lowest rate in the 27-nation bloc.
