The agency was established on 13 July 1918 [3] by Ludwik Krzywicki, one of the most notable sociologists of his time.

Inactive during World War II, GUS was reorganized in March 1945 and as of 31 July 1947 was under control of the Ordinance of the Council of Ministers (along with the Organization of Official Statistics). [3]

The office is divided into several separate branches, each responsible for a different set of data. The branches include the Divisions of Coordination of Statistical Surveys, Analyses and Regional Statistics, Dissemination, National Accounts and Finance, Business Statistics and Registers, Social Statistics, Services Statistics, Agriculture and Environment Statistics, International Cooperation, Budgetary, and Personnel.

Notable GUS publications include Rocznik Statystyczny (Statistical Yearbook), Mały Rocznik Statystyczny (Concise Statistical Yearbook), Demographic Yearbook of Poland, [4] and Wiadomości Statystyczne (Statistical News).

In November 2018 GUS estimated that the average monthly wage in Poland was PLN 4,966 (€1,158, $1,317). [5] According to GUS, during the same month Poland's retail sales increased by 8.2% year-on-year and fell by 2.7% month-on-month [6] while the economy as a whole grew at an annual rate of 5.1%. [7] In December 2018, prices of consumer goods and services increased by 1.1% from the previous year [8] while wages rose 1% from the previous month [9] and unemployment rose .1%. [10]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unemployment in Poland</span> Overview of unemployment in Poland

Unemployment in Poland is one of the lowest in European Union. Poland's unemployment rate remains impressively low, reflecting a robust labor market and steady economic growth. This trend is driven by a combination of strong industrial output, foreign investment, and a dynamic services sector. The country's focus on education and skill development has also helped align the workforce with market demands, reducing joblessness. Additionally, Poland's integration into the European Union has facilitated labor mobility and economic opportunities, further supporting low unemployment rates. As a result, Poland continues to enjoy one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, contributing to its economic stability and social well-being.
