Unemployment rate wages Sanok March of the Hungry in Sanok pl Lesko county Lesko uprising Zawiercie Bloody Friday (1930) pl
Unemployment rate rose significantly (up to 43%) while nominal wages fell by 51% in 1933 and 56% in 1934, relative to 1928. However, real wages fell less due to the government's policy of decreasing cost of living, particularly food expenditures (food prices were down by 65% in 1935 compared to 1928 price levels). Material conditions deprivation led to strikes, some of them violent or violently pacified – like in Sanok (March of the Hungry in Sanok [pl] March 6, 1930), Lesko county (Lesko uprising June 21 – July 9, 1932) and Zawiercie (Bloody Friday (1930) [pl] April 18, 1930).
