the Agency has determined that it is by 12.1% more than in the same period last year. Then, the average earnings in the capital amounted to 79,7 million rubles.
the Increase was, in particular, at the expense of indexation of salaries of public sector workers, says the Professor of Financial University under the government of Russia Alexander Safonov, Deputy rector of the Academy of labor and social relations. However, increasingly the role played by large companies, he said.
Safonov explained that the changes in salaries for senior executives are always at a higher rate than for other types of employees.
