Russians named the most demanded professions on New Year’s holidays, reports TASS citing the results of the research of the Rabota.ru service.
More than 42 percent of respondents are confident that sellers and cashiers will be the most in demand during the holidays. Next come couriers – 36 percent of Russians voted for them. The demand for medical workers on New Year’s holidays was noted by 34 percent of respondents.
A third of Russians believed that the demand for driver services will increase among the population on holidays, and 23 percent of respondents are confident that animators will become more popular.
The research was conducted in December 2020 in all districts of Russia. More than three thousand people took part in the survey.
Earlier in December, the Russians disclosed their expectations for wages in 2021. According to a survey of online job search service SuperJob, more than half (59 percent) of citizens expect a job hike, while 36 percent just dream of stability. According to forecasts of the Center for Strategic Research (CSR), in 2021 salaries may fall by almost 11 percent up from 2019. However, too serious socio-economic changes in Russia should not be expected due to the high share of the state in the economy, explained Margarita Ratnikova, director of the Free Economic Society of Russia. She pointed out that a third of Russians receive their salaries from the budget, which means that their pay cuts will not affect them.
