On 2 December 2008, at the meeting of the Committee on Statistics and Econometrics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the General Council of the Polish Statistical Association, the Committee on Statistics and Econometrics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the President of Statistics Poland adopted a resolution on establishing 9 March as the Day of Polish Statistics. Since then, we have celebrated this special day for statisticians every year. The date is not accidental. The holiday commemorates a session of the Four-Year Sejm held in 1789, during which the renowned expert in economic affairs, Fryderyk Józef Moszyński, justified taking a statistical census on the Polish territories. It was then decided that the first general census should be taken on the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, under the name of 'Lustration of Houses and Enumeration of Population'.

The 2/2024 issue of "Wiadomości Statystyczne. The Polish Statistician" was published on 29 February 2024. The issue is available at https://ws.stat.gov.pl/Issue/2024/2.

The 1/2024 issue of "Statistics in Transition new series" was published on 6 March 2024. The issue is available at https://sit.stat.gov.pl/Issue/71.

The current edition of the publication results from the update of the data on the level of education in the publication “Population in the labour market according to the results of the National Census of Population and Housing 2021 – updated version” and is the result of determining the level of education for persons for whom it was not previously assigned. As a result, it was possible to more precisely calculate the educational structure as well as indicators related to the labour market for a significantly larger group of persons. Thanks to this, the quality of data improved and the level of education was determined for 711.1 thousand people who originally had an undetermined level of education (their number decreased from 1021,9 thousand to 310,8 thousand).
