According to the latest data from the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in Poland, nearly 1.3 million foreigners were legally working in the country at the end of October 2023, representing almost 7% of its total workforce. This marked an increase of over 61 000 since the end of 2022.

The majority of migrants registered with the ZUS at this point came from Ukraine (761 000), followed by Belarus (128 000) and Georgia (27 000). The number of workers from countries in Asia, particularly Indonesia, is also rapidly growing.
