“Representatives of working specialties were the first to appreciate the benefits of the self-employment regime.

In terms of numbers, this is still the largest category of workers who have opted for this tax regime.

The shortage of construction personnel forced employers to raise average wages.

Over the year, it increased by 17%, ”the interlocutor of RT emphasized.

Trucking and vehicle repair is another niche that, according to the expert, will allow both drivers and owners of garage car services to earn money.

“For craftsmen, car repair in the absence of after-sales service for foreign cars is a separate niche that will be popular in the next two to three years.

The official increase in wages in the transport industry amounted to almost 13% last year,” he said.

He also cited the beauty industry as an example.

Beauty salons have withstood the pandemic and, as statistics show, keep customers in any crisis.

Therefore, everything related to beauty services still gives a stable income, Zyukov noted.

Another niche in which a stable income is guaranteed is home-related services.

Cleaning services are in demand both by corporate customers and private clients.

Today, almost 150,000 self-employed have chosen this area of ​​activity, which does not cover the demand and allows raising prices for services by an average of 15% annually, the expert explained.

“Finally, the permanent labor market is trade.

The shortage of personnel in it reaches 20%, so there is a place for both beginners and those with professional experience.

By the way, the growth of wages in this area at the end of last year was slightly inferior only to the construction industry and amounted to almost 16%.

It is still profitable to be self-employed in advertising and PR.

Photographers, print designers, artists will always find orders, as well as SMM specialists, marketers, copywriters,” the specialist said.

The health industry closes the list of financially profitable niches, he said.

“And the point here is not the amount of income, but the fact that most of the manipulations are not available to the self-employed.

So, the massage therapist has the right to do not medical, but household massage.

But with a properly executed contract, nutritionists, speech therapists, and psychologists will find part-time jobs in this area, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier it was reported that a business ombudsman hotline was launched in the Moscow region.
