The reading was in line with an earlier estimate by the labour ministry.
There were around 762,200 people without jobs across the nation at the end of June, compared with 776,600 a month earlier, according to the state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) office.
The statistics agency reported earlier this month that employment in Polish companies decreased by 0.4 percent in June on average in year-on-year terms.
According to the European Union’s Eurostat statistics agency, which uses a different methodology, unemployment in Poland stood at 3 percent in May, marking the second-lowest rate in the 27-nation bloc.
