Problems of the labor market in Russian regions

Recent years have affected the state of Russian enterprises in different ways: some found themselves in a difficult situation, while others saw new opportunities in them. The number of vacancies in the Russian labor market has increased, but the problem is that there are not enough suitable candidates for them. The shortage of staff forces employers to lure or retain employees, increasing remuneration. In some cases, wages grow faster than labor productivity, which violates the basic rule of labor economics. This worries the Central Bank, which considers the situation on the labor market to be one of the main risks to inflation.

The article discusses such problems as the unemployment rate in the regional labor markets of Russia, popular types of employment, and the age status of employees.
