Public statistics
First of all
Polish Statistical Office (GUS) offers a variety of general indicators concerning salaries and also labour market as a whole. It is worth noting that GUS when publishing information about salary often refer to
salaries in the enterprise sector (wynagrodenia w sektorze przedsiębiorstw) which includes only companies employing at least 10 people and does not include data from public administration, public education or health system.The enterprise sector is part of the indicator called
salaries in national economy (wynagrodzenia w gospodarce narodowej) which includes also public sector and the value of this indicator is lower. It is also less frequently published. From the perspective of a business it is better to look at salaries in enterprise sector.
Same public data can be reached also through other databases like
Eurostat. Still it is worth to remember that data origins back to Polish Statistical Office, which in our opinion do a decent and fully reliable job. It also provides the data in user friendly manner.
Crowdsource data
What about the situation if you are not interested in general data? Many companies want to find information about salaries in Warsaw, Cracow, Poznan and other cities in Poland. They are interested in salaries on certain positions like consultant, salesman, IT specialists etc.
