As for the prospects, the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation found out that the most demanded employees today are skilled workers in the metalworking and machine-building industries, high-level specialists from the fields of science, culture, construction, transport (in particular, pilots) and lawyers.
HeadHunter asked 10,000 working residents of Russia what wages they consider worthy. It turned out that the average salary is only 53% of the worthy, according to the respondents, remuneration for work.
Only 9% of respondents admitted that they consider their salary worthy. "Normal" it was called 22% of respondents. Another 69% of employees do not talk about their current pay as worthy.

“A decent salary is a rather vague concept,” explained Maria Ignatova, Head of Research at HeadHunter. - For some, this is an income that allows you to satisfy any needs without restrictions. In this case, the salary that does not end at the end of the month will be worthy, when any desire that has arisen can be realized without delay, since the money is always on hand. And for some, this is a salary that simply allows you to live a normal life, pay for food, loans, and kindergarten. People rarely think about any savings. They live in the here and now.

If the manager breaks the law and deliberately pays less than the minimum wage, then a fine of 50,000 RUB is imposed on him.

Riga, population - 641,000 people / 32% of the country's population. Everyone flocks to the capital, because there are practically no jobs in the regions. Riga is characterized by a small stratum of the middle class, great amount residents of modest means and few (mostly politicians) prosperous. Official statistics pleases with the fact that the average salary is 800 euros, but such an indicator as "fashion" says otherwise - the most common salary is about 500 euros per hand. It is received by small clerks, salespeople, entry-level specialists, emergency doctors, general doctors, teachers ... in a word, the majority. Workers, barmaids, waiters and cleaners get about 200-300 per hand.
On such a salary, one can live either very modestly, or normally, if together.
Bills for a one-room apartment in winter - 70 euros, in summer - 50. Two-room apartment - in winter 140 euros, in summer 70. Treshka - in winter 200, in summer - 100. Annual property tax - about 100-150 euros.
Renting an apartment, of course, greatly depends on the location and renovation, as well as whether it is a new building or a Soviet project. Odnushki and kopeck piece cost the same - 150-250 euros on average, 300 - 350 with a good repair + payments. It must be said that Soviet projects are not only rented, but they are still more willing to buy, because new buildings sin with such audibility that you can talk with neighbors after two floors. Well, the price for them is 1.5-2 times more than for Soviet projects. The cost of apartments varies greatly depending on the project, for example, five-story Lithuanians are the cheapest, they cost 22-25 thousand euros for one apartment, 35 thousand for two. Most good projects- these are 119 and 467 series, in them one piece costs 40 thousand, a two piece costs 50, and a three piece costs 60-65 thousand.
He takes pictures of a lot of people, since at least a third of the city's residents are visitors. As a result, a vicious circle emerges: if a couple lives in a rented apartment, one salary goes to pay bills, the second goes to food and other small expenses. Saving up for a down payment (7-15 thousand) is very difficult.
Food costs about 300 euros for two if you buy gmosh goods. Ecologically clean products cost 2-3 times more. For example, a regular pate costs 3 euros per kg, eco - 7 euros per kg. Ham - 5-6 euros per kg, and non-gmo - 9, simple bread 1, and eco - about 3. The most cunning and 50+ go to the market - there is better food for the same price. Rural products are significantly cheaper than in eco-trays in large chain stores.
Phone and Internet are very cheap compared to other EU countries - unlimited phone tariff, which includes and unlimited internet- 8-10 euros per month, Internet is also 10-15. For 18 euros you get internet and TV.
Electricity and water - about 20 more euros per month.
Transport is expensive - 1.15 costs one trip. A ticket for one type of transport for a month - 35 euros, for all types of transport - 50. Schoolchildren free of charge, students - 0.30 euros per trip or 16 euros per month for all types of transport. Gasoline / diesel - 1 euro per liter.
A visit to the doctor is another story. In theory, there are specialists paid by the state, a visit to which costs 3-4 euros, but, as usual, you can’t get to them - an appointment is 2-3 months in advance. For state-paid expensive procedures - 6-9 months in advance. A visit to a paid specialist from 20 euros, if this is some high-class specialist with a doctoral degree, etc. - 50 euros for a consultation + tests + a second consultation. Pensioners spend about 60-100 euros per month on pills, with a pension of about 150-300. The state pays 120 euros a month in the form of pensions to the unfortunate individual, as a rule, they are unemployed or non-citizens, or "both two in one bottle." Of course, one cannot name the average cost of pills - something costs 5 euros, and something costs 50, but in general, when you come for a medicine, you should count on about 10 euros per drug.
A pack of cigarettes is 3-5 euros, alcohol from 2-3 for a very modest bottle of vodka, up to 15-20 for 0.7 or 1 liter of jack daniels, jameson, etc.
There are a lot of cafes, cinemas, theaters, clubs and other entertainment in Riga. Average check in a cafe - 15-20 euros per person. In a good restaurant - about 40. A movie ticket is 5-7 euros per adult, depending on whether it is a working day or a weekend. Theater ticket from 7 to 15 euros for local performances, for tours from 20 euros.
Cars. Bad rattlers cost 2-3 thousand euros, an average car of a good brand (for example, a seven-year-old Mercedes or Audi) - 5-7 thousand. Good, almost new cars - about 10-15 thousand. MOT and insurance (again, depends on the experience) about 100-200 euros per year.
Clothing - less than 20 euros, any thing costs only on sales and less than 10 euros rarely cost. But in principle, such clothes are rubbish, because they can easily afford to stretch and come apart at the seams in a month. A dress usually costs 40-50 euros, jeans - 30, a sweater - 25-30. Shoes are expensive, even made of leatherette, and are quite a serious purchase - boots cost from 70-100 euros and more, non-brand ones reach 250-300 euros with their price. Leatherette shoes - 50 euros, 70 - leather shoes, leather sandals - 40-50. In general, there is nothing to do in a clothing store without 100 euros.
In Riga honor big shopping centers, where there is a grocery, and a beauty salon, and dry cleaning, and cafe-restaurants, and household goods stores, and clothing, and so on, as much as the imagination of marketers and the area allows.
Good cosmetics cost around 30-50 euros. For example, a good foundation costs 30 euros, and a simple one costs 10 euros, the same can be said about mascara and lipstick. A manicure costs 10-15 euros, a hairdresser (coloring and women's haircut) 30-50, a men's haircut - 10-30 euros.
In the bottom line, it turns out that those who earn 300-600 euros work only for food and shelter. It's easier, of course, if you live alone. A good salary for a middle-level specialist with 3-7 years of experience is 700-900 euros, for many this is a lifetime ceiling, but one lives quite tolerably, and if you live together, you can get a mortgage, a good car, and vacations, although such accumulations, of course, will not be fast. A high salary is 1000-1600 euros, and anything more is already big businessmen and politicians, and it is very rare. In the regions, the ceiling salary (again, not counting politicians and businessmen) is 900 euros in hand.
