Unemployment by sex and age - annual data
Eurostat · Dataset updated 10 September 2026 · Accessed 28 September 2026
Annual 2025 unemployment rate for ages 15–74, both sexes, expressed as a percentage of the labour force. Source: Eurostat, annual unemployment dataset.
National figure.
The unemployment rate is unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force (employed plus unemployed). Annual observations should not be labelled as monthly or seasonally adjusted monthly readings.
EU27 reference: Eurostat, EU unemployment in 2025 · Published 10 June 2026.
National unemployment does not measure the availability of property leaders. Use these figures as broad labour-market context, not as evidence of sector-specific candidate supply, senior talent shortages or ease of hiring.

The hiring lens / Poland
Define the footprint before the shortlist
These questions help define the appointment. The answers depend on your assets, operating model and reporting structure.
Test language by task
Which negotiations, contractor discussions and reports require Polish, English or another language? Assess the relevant work tasks rather than using nationality or a generic fluency label.
Separate ownership from coordination
Does the appointment control acquisitions, development budgets or operating performance? State decision rights and asset types so that similar job titles do not obscure different responsibilities.
Location & working languages
Plan around the work.
Then choose the base.
A reporting address, a project location and the best place to find relevant experience may be different.
Make the language requirement specific.
Which activities require Polish, which use English, and how will those abilities be assessed?
Assess communication through the tasks the person must perform, rather than nationality or an assumed language standard.
