True - We have *ALOT* here now. My city has 900k people, and 200k Ukrainians. They all came here in the last 2-3 years. Most of them are doing manual labor jobs, working cash registers, hair stylists etc. Petty jobs mostly. It's getting to the point where you don't even hear Polish walking through a mall anymore.

I think a large percentage will stay here and not go further west too due to language barriers. Ukrainian and polish are mutually intelligible and within 3-4 months they can speak polish communicatively.
