Unemployment in Poland appeared in the 19th century during industrialization, and was particularly severe during the Great Depression. Under communist rule Poland officially had close to full employment, although hidden unemployment existed. After Poland's transition to a market economy the unemployment rate sharply increased, peaking at above 16% in 1993, then dropped afterwards, but remained well above pre-1993 levels.[1] Another period of high unemployment occurred in the early 2000s when the rate reached 20%.[2] As Poland entered the European Union (EU) and its job market in 2004, the high unemployment set off a wave of emigration, and as a result domestic unemployment started a downward trend[3] that continued until the onset of the 2008 Great Recession. Recent years have seen an increase in the unemployment rate from below 8% to above 10% (Eurostat) or from below 10% to 13% (GUS). The rate began dropping again in late 2013.[4] Polish government (GUS) reported 9.6% registered unemployment in November 2015,[1] while European Union's Eurostat gave 7.2%.[5] According to Eurostat data, since 2008, unemployment in Poland has been constantly below the EU average.[5] Significant regional differences in the unemployment rate exist across Poland.
