Poland's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged at 2.7 percent in June 2022 from the previous month, Eurostat, the EU's statistical office, reported on Monday.

"Poland records second-lowest unemployment rate in the European Union in June...," the Permanent Representation of Poland to the EU wrote on Twitter.

The Czech Republic placed first with its unemployment rate at 2.4 percent.

According to Eurostat, the unemployment rate in the eurozone countries, according to seasonally adjusted data, went down to 6.6 percent in June, unchanged from May.

According to Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS), Poland's unemployment rate fell to 4.9 percent in June 2022 from 5.1 percent in May 2022.

The discrepancy between GUS and Eurostat figures results from the use of different methodologies.
