The most difficult problems in Poland are unemployment, which hovers around 20% – the highest rate in the EU – and the growing divide between rich and poor. Indeed, only in Russia (and perhaps in Ukraine) is the income gap wider.
波兰目前最大的困难是失业率居高不下，一直徘徊在20%左右，超过了其它所有的欧盟国家。另一个问题就是贫富差距日益扩大。实际上，收入差距甚于波兰的恐怕只有俄罗斯（也许还有乌克兰）。但这些问题都没有在竞选时被明确地提上日程。共产主义过去和公众腐败是两个获胜党派大肆宣扬的主要矛盾。
