Is it not a simple fact that since most Polish companies are registered in Warsaw, their profits will be designated as from Mazovia, even though the factories, etc may be somewhere else?<br /><br />Surely average personal income is a far more meaningful statistic to use, and here I suspect Warsaw is still well in the shadow even of Hull.Sigismundonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-11982889634622420562013-06-03T11:14:24.319+02:002013-06-03T11:14:24.319+02:00Poland is now a divided nation, both politically a...Poland is now a divided nation, both politically and economically! Enlargement of EU, and Poland's entry to the group, has created massive disadvantage in certain regions, followed by corruption and mishandling of EU funds! As the article suggests some regions have 38% unemployment rate, which has made many young pople from those regions to immigrate. See regions around places like Radom, Opatow, Lodz, Marlbork, Sczecin - corruption, closing of many companies and lack of drive to create local employment. In places mentioned below, an uneducated PSL party controls political arena, and is now famous for corruption, and controlling government authorities, like ARiMR, MR etc. Exploitation of polish workers, lack of HR Laws, redundancies, and massive taxation is another story. Poland has long to go before it establishes itself as a strong international partner, abale to create it's own wealth.Arturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889776362928266909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-78855836593977308462013-06-02T15:22:04.701+02:002013-06-02T15:22:04.701+02:00I know where you are coming from re. selling Polan...I know where you are coming from re. selling Poland as an export destination however I cant imagine many companies - except perhaps for LVMH, Bentley etc. coming up for a marketing strategy only for inner London.<br />Would be great if Poland also addressed this issue by extending the reach of Warsaw - high speed rail connections between Radom, Kielce, Lodz, Siedlce etc would spread some of this wealth into what would become the Home Counties of Warsaw!
