The flow of Ukrainians to Poland has plateaued, decreasing slightly since 2016, reports Rzeczpospolita, Poland’s nationwide business daily newspaper. Separately, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, another Polish newspaper, cites a new survey indicating that, given the chance, Ukrainians would jump over Poland to work in Germany. Contradicting the view that Ukrainians prefer Poland for its geographic and linguistic proximity, Maciej Witucki, CEO of Work Service, which conducted the study, says: “Unfortunately, our research has shown that these factors are at the bottom of the list of reasons why Ukrainians pick Poland for work. Higher salaries play a key role.” While 84% of Ukrainian survey respondents said they would recommend working in Poland to friends and family, about 60% said they would move to Germany for better pay
