Why is Poland attractive to workers without education?

The demand for unskilled labor in Poland remains high. The reasons are simple:

● Labor shortage. Polish companies are actively hiring foreigners to compensate for the shortage of workers.

● Competitive pay. Even without a diploma, you can earn a stable income, as well as bonuses for quality work.

● Transparent conditions. Most employers officially register their employees, which provides social guarantees.

● Opportunities for growth. Companies often offer training or professional development, which allows employees to move to better-paid positions.
