If someone works in Tesco or Real then sure, it's going to be less. Just like anywhere else, checkout-chicks don't rake it in. Skilled labour however starts out slightly better. A good wage here for a degree qualified person is PLN4500. Rent in an urban centre Superjednoska of about 40sp.mt is about PLN1000. Note that in Poland, luxuries are really expensive and staples are on par. Buy a luxury and you definitely pay about three times the price for it. This is all from experience living here for almost the past year. I would say that the quoted PLN1500 wage is actually PLN2500. If someone works in Tesco or Real then sure, it’s going to be less.

Making money is easy in a global economy once you realize that you are paid international, regardless of boarders based on what you can create and what you can contribute. Money is made mostly on intellectual capital these days as machines to the physical work and businesses that required physical capital. This applies to Poland and the rest of the world. I am skeptical is Poles really only make 1,500 pln actually.

But, How do you manage to earn 3000 pln in Poland? Actually as a foreigner. Most people earn about half of that in Poland. With my Dutch paycheck I would also live like a king in Poland (+/- 14.000 pln). But it's not easy to get in as a foreigner, specially with (yes still) all the corruption. Nice comparison.
