WHERE THE BEST PAYS

Experts have compiled a list of regions where citizens have the lowest salaries and the highest incomes in Russia. Nothing unexpected happened in these results. The leaders in terms of income were residents of Moscow and those who live in the northern and far eastern territories of the country. But the peoples of the North Caucasus live in extremely constrained material circumstances.

For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, a quarter of all working citizens have a monthly income of over 100 thousand rubles. And the proportion of residents living here with a low salary is only 0.6%. Chukotka is on the second place in the list of regions-leaders (21% and with income above 100 thousand rubles), on the third - Moscow (slightly more than 17%).

In another six regions, the share of workers with a salary of more than 100 thousand rubles is above the threshold of 10%: in the Magadan Region, KhMAO, Nenets Autonomous District, Yakutia and Kamchatka. At the end of the list of a dozen regions with high salaries, the Murmansk region is located, where 8.1% of employees bring home at least 100,000 rubles a month.

But residents from the republics of the North Caucasus and Central Russia can only envy such incomes. In these areas the percentage of those who officially receive more than 100 thousand rubles is negligible - only half of one percent of the total number of citizens of working people.

Much more in our country those who earn and do not understand how they live, on wages less than 10 thousand rubles. In nine regions of Russia the share of such "working poor" exceeds 25%. Sad leadership at the lowest salaries went to Dagestan. Here 35% of workers pay less than 10 thousand rubles, "a little better" situation in Karachaevo-Cherkessia - 30.5% live a month for "chervonets."

This state of things with pay for labor analysts consider one of the most acute social problems. After all, in Russia, more than 11% of employees (that is, every tenth) a month after deduction of taxes receive less than 10 thousand rubles.
