The media called the proportion of Russians with salaries above 75 thousand rubles per month

It is noted that the corresponding wages receive almost 12% of Russians.

According to the study, approximately one third of those employed in the field of mining (37%), finance (33%) and fisheries (34%) have such income.

Experts also point out that, under certain circumstances, people employed in the “IT, communications and mass communications” industry and in the “Professional, scientific and technical activities” industry can hope for fairly high salaries. Here, more than a quarter of employees get paid in the amount of 75 thousand rubles and more per month.

At the same time, the study indicates that less than 15 thousand rubles per month are earned by more than 30% of people employed in the light industry. Also, more than 21% of workers with such low salaries were recorded in industries such as Education, Agriculture and Forestry, and Hotels, Cafes and Restaurants.

In March, Alexander Scherbakov, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, in an interview with FBA “Economy Today”, evaluated the plans of the Russian Ministry of Labor to develop methods for assessing the impact of intellectual workloads on employees' health and oblige employers to pay extra for optimal working conditions.
