We have a worker deficit in Poland, it's very hard to find staff - especially for menial jobs, in almost every industry. It's definitely easier to find a video editor vs a programmer (I got 25 applicants vs 2 for a coder). We have more Ukranians here then any other european country that's not Ukraine will have in the foreseeable future. Salaries have not been driven downwards, and I think that the whole worry in western europe about them is unfounded for the most part because simply not that many will go there and many will stay in Poland due to it's geographical proximity to UA and the small language barrier (an adult can speak relatively good polish after only a few months).
