Hey Guys, I'm curious what the average monthly salary of a Polish construction worker is now? Did wages go up last year for all the work that had to be carried out? Someone told me salaries are really low.

if you are skilled (like a plumber) you can earn decent money (for Polish standards) - it's those who are less skilled (or who don't have enough equipmentor courage) who work for other people as hand who earn peanuts

depends what kind of work you are talking about. my carpenter makes good money but he pays the guys that work for him only about 2000 pln per month. but they are also learning on the job.

That's interesting, according to the EU stats the average construction worker got in or around the 2,000 mark with 30% in deductions. If you're saying trainees make this then, thats clearly rubbish. I wonder did wages go up with demand for 2012?

I couldn't really answer that. My carpenter is also in Warsaw where generally speaking people make more money. If you are talking about an average- Warsaw is at the high end of the scale- but this is also why in Warsaw many people will hire general laborers from other parts of Poland- they are cheaper.
