Some people have returned to Ukraine, and some are moving to other EU countries, writes Rzeczpospolita. Labor market expert Hanna Sudolska emphasized the changing dynamics in the European labor market. She explained that just as Poles prefer to go to Germany for higher-paying work, Ukrainian workers in Poland are doing the same.
The attractiveness of work in Poland, particularly seasonal work, has recently decreased for Ukrainians. In 2022, personnel problems for hoteliers and restaurateurs were solved by the influx of femal refugees from Ukraine. Currently, 70-80% of these people have not returned to work. They most likely returned to Ukraine or went to Germany or elsewhere to work, said Sudolska.
To meet the demand for labor, authorities recommended that business owners create an environment that would encourage Ukrainian citizens to stay in Poland.
