He announced this at a meeting of the government commission to improve the stability of the Russian economy in the face of sanctions.

“One of the big and serious challenges is the problem of employment.

We see some volatility in the labor market, but nevertheless, there are no supercritical phenomena,” said Sobyanin, who heads the State Council working group on the economy.

He also noted that there are programs launched by the Ministry of Labor.

“In parallel, programs are being launched and the situation is being monitored by the regions,” RIA Novosti quotes Sobyanin.

The day before, it was reported that the Moscow authorities recorded a decrease in the unemployment rate to 0.48%.
