Poland's Jobless Rate Falls to 18.8 Pct. Wednesday May 25, 5:48 am ET Poland's Jobless Rate Falls to 18.8 Percent in April

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Poland's jobless rate fell to 18.8 percent in April, from 19.3 percent the previous month, according to government data released Wednesday. The Central Statistical Office said the April figure compared with a jobless rate of 19.9 percent in the same month last year.

In total, some 2.96 million people were out of work in April in the nation of 38 million, one of 10 mostly ex-communist countries that joined the European Union in May last year.

Despite healthy economic growth, Poland has the highest jobless rate in the 25-member bloc.

But why mention the details.

Strange you weren't interested in the details back at post #26.

Whatever. I'm sure many Russians will opt to switch their compensation from the dollar to the euro, setting you up for yet another of your witty and informative "Fourth Reich marches on" posts.

Thanks.

Poland appears to be on an upward curve, but it's best to confirm one's understanding of economic statistics with some actual on-the-ground feedback every now and then.
