In fact, a unique study using data from over 600,000 survey respondents between 2013 and 2017 found that being proficient in English can seriously boost your paycheck in Poland. Men with ‘good’ or ‘very good’ English skills earned nearly 60% more than those who didn’t speak English or had only basic skills. For women, the wage increase was over 50%.
