Employees who speak Polish earn 20\u201330% more than those who work without the language. More than 60% of job offers in Poland require at least a basic level of Polish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that today anyone can learn Polish for free. More than one and a half million people are already doing it on Duolingo, and internet access has made the learning process easier than it may seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a basic level is enough for comfortable everyday life in Poland and for communicating with Polish people on different topics. Without the language, your opportunities are limited \u2014 usually to around PLN 3,000\u20133,500 in warehouses and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_66_1

Today, around 1.58 million Ukrainian citizens live in Poland \u2014 almost one million of them use temporary protection under the PESEL UKR system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know what is interesting? More than 80% of Ukrainians who arrived after February 2022 had never worked in Poland before and did not know Polish. Yet they quickly integrated into trade, logistics, manufacturing, services and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This large inflow partly solved the labour shortage that had existed in Poland even before 2022. As of October 2025, more than 1.26 million foreign workers were insured in ZUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 40% of Ukrainians plan to stay in Poland permanently. However, employers are becoming more demanding: they are looking for better solutions, sometimes turning to workers from Asia or South America and using automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Statistics_how_much_people_lose_when_they_do_not_know_the_language\"><\/span><strong>Statistics: how much people lose when they do not know the language<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_real_numbers_that_show_why_language_means_money\"><\/span><strong>Here are real numbers that show why language means money:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unskilled_positions\"><\/span><strong>Unskilled positions:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleaner, loader: level A0\u2013A1 is enough<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salary without Polish: PLN 3,000\u20133,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salary with Polish: from PLN 4,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Qualified_professions\"><\/span><strong>Qualified professions:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers: B1 level is needed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooks: B1\u2013B2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bartenders: B2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specialised_fields_%E2%80%94_this_is_where_the_difference_is_the_largest\"><\/span><strong>Specialised fields \u2014 this is where the difference is the largest:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IT specialists: from PLN 8,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Logistics and engineering: up to PLN 6,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medical workers: from PLN 5,800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economists: from PLN 4,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 60% of all job offers in Poland require Polish at a basic or intermediate level.
