Which kinds of jobs grew and shrank on a Polish job board in October 2026

Last week I looked at the weekly rhythm of job ads on Praca pl, one of Poland's national job boards. This time: which kinds of jobs gained and lost ads over the month. I compare two Tuesdays, 13 October and 3 November, so the weekly rhythm does not distort the change.

In October 2026, the Polish job board Praca.pl reported changes in the number of job ads across various categories over a one-week period. Transport and logistics saw the largest increase, with a 23% rise in ads, from 1,338 to 1,646. Sales and customer service categories experienced the most significant decline, with a 16% drop in ads, from 3,058 to 2,579.

Health care and education categories also saw substantial declines, with health care losing 26% of its ads and education losing 38%. The overall number of live ads on the platform decreased by 4%, from 16,934 to 16,208 between 13 October and 3 November. The share of ads that state a salary varied greatly by category, with transport and logistics leading at 36% of ads, up from 36% to 42.8%, followed by sales and customer service at 18.7%, up from 18.7% to 21.3%.

Production and engineering & technical categories had the lowest pay statement rates, at 21.9% and 15% respectively. Pay statement rates were highest for jobs that are in high demand, such as drivers, warehouse staff, and production line workers.
