If the registered unemployment rate in March was 5.4%, it rose to 5.8% in April and to 6% in May. In the following months, from June to November, it remained at the level of 6.1% in December, unemployment slightly increased to 6.2%, however, similar declines in employment were recorded at the end of the year also in previous years – writes Zbigniew Gajewski in the report.
