As the RIA Novosti study showed, in cities with high salaries, indeed, prices are often slightly higher than the average Russian ones, but even taking into account the factor of different prices, the differences in salaries are quite large. The value of the ratio of wages and the cost of a standard consumer package in different cities varies from 1.4 to 3.8, that is, the real level of average wages for leaders and outsiders differs by about 3 times. At the same time, the median value of the ratio among the studied cities is 2, that is, on average, employees in a large Russian city earn a monthly amount that is approximately twice the standard average consumer spending.

In 2019, the highest salary, adjusted for city prices, is observed in Moscow. Average net salary in the capital in the first half of the year current year amounted to 97 thousand rubles (salary for large and medium-sized organizations), and for this amount you can purchase 3.83 fixed sets of goods and services. The city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk has a very close result, where the ratio is 3.81, while the average salary here is significantly lower - 90.6 thousand rubles per month.

Places from third to fifth are occupied by three northern cities located in two neighboring regions (KhMAO-Yugra and YNAO). The third in terms of purchasing power of average wages is Salekhard (the ratio of wages and a fixed set of 3.35), the fourth line is occupied by Surgut (3.24), and the fifth is Khanty-Mansiysk (3.20). Despite the similar results in terms of the ratio of wages and prices in these three cities, the nominal level of wages in them varies greatly. In Salekhard, average wages are 22% higher than in Khanty-Mansiysk, but prices actually equalize the standard of living in them. In general, it is quite expected that the leading positions are occupied by cities from the northern, oil and gas regions. Highly profitable oil and gas production allows companies to pay their employees more, including as compensation for the harsh climate and remoteness from the "civilization" of these cities.

RIA Rating- it is universal rating agency media groups MIA "Russia Today" specializing in assessing the socio-economic situation of the regions of the Russian Federation, the economic condition of companies, banks, economic sectors, countries. The main activities of the agency are: the creation of ratings of regions of the Russian Federation, banks, enterprises, municipalities, insurance companies, valuable papers, other economic objects; complex economic research in the financial, corporate and government sectors.

MIA "Russia Today" - an international media group whose mission is prompt, balanced and objective coverage of events in the world, informing the audience about different views on key events. MIA "Russia Today" presents a line of information resources of the agency:

The rating of Russian cities in terms of wages was headed by Moscow, the average salary in which in 2019 amounted to 97 thousand rubles. It can buy 3.83 of a standard consumer set. This is evidenced by a new study conducted by RIA Novosti.

Experts calculated the ratio of average wages and the cost of a standard consumer package in various cities. salaries (for deduction of personal income tax) are calculated based on the municipal statistics of Rosstat for the first six months of 2019 for large and medium-sized enterprises. The standard consumer set is designed for one person living in his own apartment with an area of ​​28 square meters. It includes 112 goods and services, including food (including delicacies), clothing, manufactured goods, furniture, electrical equipment, transport and recreational expenses, as well as utilities, telecommunications, legal and financial services.

As evidenced by the rating, in 2019, the highest salary, adjusted for prices, was recorded in Moscow: 3.83 sets of goods and services can be bought here for an average salary. A close result is Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where the ratio is 3.81, which gives it second place. The average salary in Moscow in the first half of the year was 97 thousand rubles, in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - 90.6 thousand. In total, more than 80 thousand rubles are received by residents of five cities. At the same time, in terms of prices, Moscow and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk are only in sixth and seventh places. Even higher prices among the 100 cities studied are in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Magadan, Naryan-Mar, Salekhard and Yakutsk.

Places from third to fifth in terms of real wages are occupied by three cities in Yugra and the Yamalo-Nenets district: Salekhard (3.35 fixed wages), Surgut (3.24) and Khanty-Mansiysk (3.20).

Despite the close real wages, the nominal ones are very different. In Salekhard, average salaries are 22% higher than in Khanty-Mansiysk, but the difference in prices actually equalizes the standard of living in them. According to experts, highly profitable oil and gas production allows companies to pay more to their employees, including as compensation for the harsh climate and remoteness of these cities.

The lowest ratio of wages and a fixed set (1.36) in the city of Shakhty (Rostov region). Also, the purchasing power of average wages in Cherkessk (1.49) and Elista (1.52) is quite low. Another six cities have this indicator at the level of less than 1.6. Of these nine cities that close the rating, five are the capitals of the North Caucasian republics. As experts explain, this is largely due to the relative weakness of their economies and the relatively low level of official salaries. Therefore, even low prices in these regions do not compensate for the low level of nominal wages.

Of the million-plus cities, the most "prosperous", not counting Moscow, is St. Petersburg. The ratio of the average salary and the cost of a standard consumer package there is 2.89, which corresponds to the seventh place in the ranking. Thus, real wages in the northern capital are 1.3 times lower than in Moscow. Among the 15 Russian millionaires, 13 real salaries are higher than the Russian average: in Krasnoyarsk, the average salary can buy 2.50 consumer kits, in Ufa - 2.31, in Yekaterinburg - 2.28 and in Kazan - 2.27. Among the largest cities lagging behind are Voronezh (1.96) and Volgograd (1.91).

At the same time, it follows from the rating that not all million-plus cities reach high places due to high salaries; in some, the high real level of income is explained by relatively low prices. These cities include Omsk and Chelyabinsk. In the first city, the ratio of wages and prices is at the level of 2.17, this is the 35th place in the ranking. At the same time, the city occupies only 55th place in terms of the nominal average salary, but the cost of a fixed set of goods and services is lower than that of 93 cities out of 100 presented. Saransk turned out to be the city with the lowest cost of a fixed set of goods and services.

Meanwhile, on the portal, the rating data is called into question: for example, according to the rating, residents of Birobidzhan receive on average a little less than forty thousand rubles a month, but the townspeople themselves say that only representatives of difficult and dangerous professions, as well as businessmen, can boast of such salaries. The rest are forced to work two jobs for 20 thousand, while giving half for rent.

In Yakutsk, the picture is about the same. According to city sites offering vacancies local residents, a specialist in the field of printing design will be able to consistently receive thirty thousand rubles a month. Although in relation to Yakutsk we can talk about an average salary of about forty thousand, according to the rating, the townspeople can boast of incomes of almost seventy thousand rubles.

According to a survey conducted at the end of 2018, Russians would like to receive from 116 to 208 thousand rubles a month in order to feel happy. The requests of the inhabitants of Vladivostok turned out to be the highest: the average city dweller needs 208 thousand rubles a month for happiness, which is 18.5 minimum dimensions wages (minimum wage) for Primorye.

In second place are Muscovites who would like to receive 207 thousand rubles, which is 11 minimum wages for the capital. The third most demanding were residents of Rostov-on-Don with a desired salary of 203 thousand rubles a month - this is 17 minimum wages for the region.

Residents of St. Petersburg showed a relatively modest figure, calling a salary of 160 thousand rubles (9.4 minimum wages) sufficient for happiness, and ended up in the middle of the rating. They were overtaken by requests from residents of Saratov and Chelyabinsk (176 thousand rubles each), Yekaterinburg (173 thousand rubles), Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod (169 thousand rubles), Tolyatti (167 thousand rubles), Voronezh (163 thousand roubles.).
