On average, the survey showed that respondents would like to receive 74 thousand rubles a month.

Moreover, the desired salary of women was lower than that of men. So, on average in the country, men would like to earn 86 thousand rubles, and women - 61 thousand rubles.

Analysts also note that the desired salary level after the onset of the coronavirus infection pandemic has changed compared to an earlier period.

For example, a similar survey conducted in January 2020 showed that on average in the country men would like to earn 103 thousand rubles, and women 80 thousand rubles.

The survey involved 4.9 thousand people over 18 years of age from all regions of Russia.

Earlier, Rosstat data showed in which economic sectors the highest and lowest salaries were recorded at the beginning of 2020.
