According to RBC, the department said that next year the unemployment rates in Russia will remain at the same level.
“HeadHunter is not familiar with the research methodology, so it is not possible to comment,” the Ministry of Labor said.
It is also specified that the state of the labor market remains stable, and employers announced 1.7 million vacancies to the employment service.
Earlier, the newspaper Izvestia, citing a study by HeadHunter, wrote that every tenth company in Russia may experience a reduction in 2020.
As of October 1, the number of unemployed in Russia amounted to 662.2 thousand people.
