The economic crisis in several countries has an impact on the cities of the Russian Federation. However, for some large megacities, it was not so comprehensive. So, Muscovites proudly claim that their income level is not only not declining due to recent events, but, on the contrary, is growing day by day.
General economic situation
Forecasting average earnings is becoming increasingly popular. In Moscow, the revenue plan was approved until 2016 inclusive. The average salary in Moscow is constantly increasing. The same can be said about the birth rate. The demographic crisis for the capital has long been history. The life expectancy of Muscovites is equivalent to European. This means that now Moscow has become not only one of the main centers of the economy, but also a city with decent welfare.
The average salary in Moscow, 2014
If we generally consider the level of wages in the capital, it will be higher than the earnings of residents of other Russian cities by about 80-85%. Such a difference between the periphery and the center indicates that the provinces are so rich in wealth as if they are located in another country altogether. Budget plans do not yet provide for at least some equalization in this area of the economy, since Moscow, indeed, is much larger in terms of the number of inhabitants and promising work. Peripheral cities are still unable to provide their residents with such opportunities. For 2013, the average salary in Moscow amounted to about 50 thousand rubles. In 2014, this figure jumped to 60 thousand. According to the two-year plan, indicators should increase even more.
Percentage for 2014
The change in the main income of Muscovites is rapidly continuing for the better. Such dynamics should continue in 2014. It is planned to raise salaries in Moscow by an average of 5.5% compared to the previous year. In this situation, inflation will also increase in the corresponding percentage indicators. When specialists calculated these predicted figures, they did not take into account an important fact: many visitors, and even the indigenous inhabitants of Moscow, do not work officially. Therefore, any calculation of capital income will be biased, if only for this reason. In addition, a significant portion of Muscovites work for themselves. Freelancing is becoming a popular type of work. In the future they also want to regulate it with taxes, but these are just far-reaching plans. So far, earnings through the Internet, etc., remain unofficial and non-taxable. The real average salary in Moscow is difficult to calculate.
Growth for 2013
If we consider the dynamics of Muscovites' incomes in general, then it is necessary to study earlier indicators. For example, comparing the first quarter of 2012 with the first quarter of 2013, it can be revealed that wages in various fields of activity of people have grown by about 6%. If in 2013 the average salary in Moscow was 49-50 thousand rubles, then according to current forecasts, by the end of 2014 it will reach a new level, increasing by another 10 thousand. Thus, the wealth of citizens will increase significantly, allowing them to increase their needs.
Amounts and professions
Speaking of quantitative indicators, it is impossible not to mention specific examples. To find out what is the average salary in Moscow, it is necessary to consider individual professions. For example, it is known that the average earnings of a financial director in Moscow is approximately 110 and more than thousand rubles. Note that this is only official data on the “white” salary, and nothing is known about other sources of income in the financial sector. Programmers currently receive from 70 thousand rubles. Revenues of state employees, such as teachers and doctors, range from 65 to 70 thousand. In the working and construction sectors, wages range from 40 to 65 thousand. It is known that a Moscow lawyer receives almost the same salary as a milling or fitting specialist, equal to about 50-52 thousand rubles. Sellers, pharmacists and nurses, despite different areas of activity, also receive approximately the same income of 45-50 thousand rubles. Often, according to the paradox, a guard can earn more money than an economist: 36 and 34 thousand rubles, respectively. Psychologists, secretaries and cashiers, being in the same row, earn about 32 thousand rubles a month. Janitors, cleaners and dishwashers are at the very bottom of this list, receiving from 25 to 30 thousand rubles of income.
