Russia (bbabo.net), - About half of Russians (47%) expressed a desire to be paid in dollars or euros, just over a third (31%) do not consider it necessary. This is the result of a survey conducted by the SuperJob service.
Among those who want to receive dollars or euros for their work, men prevail (54%), people under 34 years old (56%) and with an income of over 80 thousand rubles (51%). "Today, the number of people who want to fix their salaries in American or European monetary units has been the highest since 2015: seven years ago, 32% of Russians dreamed about it, and in August 2020 - 37%," the study notes. The survey was conducted on February 1-11, 2022 in 389 settlements of all districts of Russia among the economically active population over 18 years old, in total 1600 respondents participated in it.
According to another survey (conducted by the international staffing group ANCOR), more than half of Russians are dissatisfied with the salary and are ready to change jobs. The majority (40%) would like to earn at least twice as much as now, another third (32%) - one and a half times, 18% would be satisfied with a 20% increase. About a third of respondents are going to move to another job in 2022.
Experts note that the shortage of personnel, exacerbated by the pandemic, did not force employers to pay more to their employees. Salary growth was 4.1 percent below inflation in 2021, according to Russian online recruiting platform hh.ru. However, now, personnel analysts predict, salaries will grow at least a little. Because companies compete with each other for the best candidate for the job. Due to the pandemic, there was a shortage of personnel, and now the employee chooses his employer, and not vice versa. Moreover, those who are looking for work have become more demanding in terms of wages and working conditions. “The salary is a little bit, but it’s growing,” says Anton Durnetsov, founder of the BGStaff recruiting agency. “Somewhere, it’s much faster, for example, in the IT field. But in fact, I even find it difficult to name an area where salaries have not increased in 2021 At least not by much. On the one hand, there are no people, on the other hand, your current employees are starting to be sorted out in the market with salaries much higher than yours. You make some kind of conclusion: either close the business or raise salaries."
The international audit and consulting network FinExpertiza has published data on the minimum and maximum wages in the Russian regions. The largest gap is expectedly recorded in Moscow. The minimum level of salaries in a sample of 10 percent after income tax was 20 thousand rubles, the maximum - 357 thousand. In St. Petersburg, the gap between the lowest paid and the highest paid part is also very significant - more than 12 times. In third place is the Moscow region: a minimum of 14,500 rubles, a maximum of 173,100. In the regions, wage inequality is noticeable. For example, in Tyumen, the minimum is 14 thousand rubles, the maximum is 146 thousand. On Sakhalin, a minimum of 25 thousand rubles, a maximum of 266 thousand. And the smallest inequality in wages is observed in the Kamchatka Territory and Kalmykia - about 7 times.
Rosstat states: Wage inequality is decreasing in Russia
At the same time, Rosstat states that wage inequality is decreasing in Russia. The gap between the lowest and highest has narrowed to 13 times. The decrease in inequality in remuneration for work is the result of an increase in the minimum wage, salaries of state employees and the development of a number of industries. Experts predict further convergence in salaries. Now 10 percent of the least paid workers have a salary of 12.1 thousand rubles. per month, 10 percent of the highest paid - 157.2 thousand rubles. According to official statistics, today the highest wage gap is in fish farming (28.8 times), scientific activities (19.3 times) and information technology (17.6 times), the lowest is in the production of vehicles (7.1 times) and textiles (7.2). The poles in wages for state and municipal enterprises amount to 11.1 thousand rubles. and 116.5 thousand rubles, for private - 14.2 thousand rubles. and 197.5 thousand rubles.The decrease in wage inequality, however, is somewhat offset by inequality in the ownership of financial assets. According to an analysis conducted by experts from the Higher School of Economics in conjunction with the Institute for Research and Expertise of Vnesheconombank, the wealthiest 3 percent of Russia's population holds 89 percent of all financial assets, 92 percent of all term deposits, and 89 percent of all cash savings. Polls show that only a third of Russian families have savings. The share of citizens who do not have any savings fluctuates slightly over the past twenty years, but does not change significantly. “The feeling that society is fragmented into a class of the super-rich and the rest of the country is getting worse day,” notes Grigory Yudin, professor at the Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences. “You see a certain person and think: well, okay, I admit that he is smarter than me and even works bigger than me, but not a million times over!"
Because of the pandemic, there was a shortage of personnel, and now the employee chooses his employer, and not vice versa
Sociologists state that the hierarchy of requests has changed. The demand for justice dominates. Citizens do not demand that everything be taken from the rich and divided among the poor. They want rich and poor to be equal before the law. The request for respect and the request for justice have become the most urgent requests of Russian society. The deficit of both is perceived by him even more acutely than wage inequality.
