The key findings of the EWL report were published on the front page of the Ukrainian news agency.

‘27% of Ukrainian refugees in Poland found employment within the first month of their stay in Poland. 34% were looking for employment for one to three months. Only 18% of Ukrainians are currently unemployed.
