EU's Most Mobile Workforce Becoming Less So as Home Jobs Beckon
- Polish workers less keen to move amid record low unemployment
- U.K. is top destination for Poles seeking to work abroad
Workers prepare to fit new turbo diesel engines (TDI) to Volkswagen AG Caddy vans on the production line at the VW plant in Poznan, Poland, on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2015. Volkswagen's struggles mark a stark contrast to a buoyant recovery in Europe's auto market.

A survey by Warsaw-based recruiting and human services provider Work Service SA showed on Wednesday that the number of Polish workers considering emigration dropped by more than a quarter in the past year. Among those willing to work abroad, the U.K. returned as the most sought-after destination, signalling a potential last wave of migrants seeking jobs in Britain before the island nation exits the EU, according to the study.
