The SEMs are more cautious in planning the employment policy.
Companies representing the industrial production are considered as the most optimistic and the most willing to hire new employees. In this group the net employment for QIII reached even 17%. Strong optimism can be also seen in the transportation / logistics, communication, wholesale and retail trade. The experts also argue that employment prosperity is reinforced by foreign investments in BSS, automotive and R&D sectors. The growing demand for professionals with technical skills and sales experts is now a very clear trend of the Polish labour market.
