The article examines how wages in Poland have changed in response to local labor market conditions from 1995 to 2005. The researchers found that there is a connection between wages and unemployment, with wages decreasing when unemployment rates rise. However, this relationship is not very strong. Other factors like labor productivity and employment structure also influence regional wage differences. The study shows that the relationship between wages and unemployment was weaker during a period of rising unemployment from 1999 to 2001, suggesting that wages in Poland tend to stay stable even when unemployment goes up.
