Polish Jobless Coming To UK

Thousands of jobless migrant Polish workers are heading back to Britain after being warned their home unemployment figures are in meltdown.

Latest official records show unemployment in Poland at nearly 12 per cent, but government experts say it can only get worse.

Central Statistics Office spokesman Janusz Witkowski confirmed: "The situation on the labour market is more worrying than we thought before. The time has come when it will be difficult to create new jobs and thus reduce unemployment."

Now officials expect thousands of job hunters - driven home by the credit crunch in the UK and the rest of western Europe - to leave again to find work abroad.

"Things are tough in Britain, Germany and France but they aren't as tough as they are here," explained one.
