"brain drain" to western europe, and the fact that university here is free so pretty much everyone has a masters in something and speaks english so alot of companies setup shop in Poland (IBM, LG, Facebook etc etc). It drives the IT salaries way up. Medicine and legal jobs are also really high paying as well, and also shit like furniture making etc. Low skilled jobs like cashiers etc are the only ones that pay very little at this point
As for real estate, it won't compare to vancouver or toronto but a decent apartment all said and done (so finished with flooring, kitchen, bathrooms etc) is like $200-250k USD in the city centers. My house is probably worth $500k at this point if not more and it's 3200sqft in a village outside a major city. For that money i'd have one 2x bigger with a pool in Arizona in some places.
