W Polsce postrzeganie migrant\u00f3w zarobkowych stopniowo si\u0119 zmienia. Podczas gdy spo\u0142ecze\u0144stwo wcze\u015bniej obawia\u0142o si\u0119 konkurencji o miejsca pracy, te obawy coraz cz\u0119\u015bciej ust\u0119puj\u0105 miejsca spokojniejszemu, a nawet pozytywnemu postrzeganiu. Potwierdzaj\u0105 to dane z najnowszego "Barometru Rynku Pracy w Polsce."<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, 40% of workers in Poland encounter foreigners at work in one way or another: almost one in six collaborates with them on a regular basis, and nearly a quarter does so occasionally. However, more than half of the respondents still do not have professional contact with migrants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attitude towards foreigners remains generally reserved, but without sharp judgments: 36% of Poles have a positive outlook, 43% take a neutral position, and only 14% express negativity. Ukrainians still play the main role in the labor market \u2014 they make up almost 80% of all foreign workers in the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fears have not materialized<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts note that the scenario many feared has not come to pass. There has been no mass «theft of jobs.»<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, the share of Poles with a positive or neutral attitude towards foreigners has increased from 71% to 79%. This is a significant shift that indicates a gradual normalization of the situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to specialists, observing other countries in Europe has also played a role. Poles see the difficulties faced by Germany, France, or Spain, and begin to reassess their own experiences<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, a more pragmatic view is forming: migrants are not a threat, but people with whom one can work and find common ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less competition than expected<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 Polak\u00f3w (69%) nie obawia si\u0119, \u017ce obcokrajowcy wypchn\u0105 ich z rynku pracy. Tylko co pi\u0105ty uwa\u017ca taki scenariusz za mo\u017cliwy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is simple: in reality, migrants more often fill labor gaps rather than compete for the same positions. They occupy niches where there is a shortage of local workers, thereby complementing the market rather than destroying it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Ukrainians work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainians are most often employed in the service sector and manufacturing. Many of them have been working in Poland for several years and have managed to adapt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To jest odzwierciedlone w ich samoocenie: 73% ocenia swoj\u0105 sytuacj\u0119 zawodow\u0105 pozytywnie, chocia\u017c ponad jedna czwarta nadal napotyka trudno\u015bci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts emphasize that proximity \u2014 geographical, cultural, and linguistic \u2014 plays an important role. This is why Ukraine remains the main source of labor migration to Poland, and workers themselves often choose Poland over more distant countries in Western Europe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many foreigners work in Poland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest data, at the end of October 2025, more than 1.13 million foreigners were working in Poland \u2014 7% more than a year earlier<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these, about 767 thousand are citizens of Ukraine. Their number continues to grow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In Poland, the perspective on labor migrants is gradually changing. While society used to fear competition for jobs, these fears are increasingly giving way to a more calm and even positive perception.
