The most highly paid and sought-after professions in Russia
Any work must be adequately paid. In the process of work, a person loses strength, health and time, risks and is often in uncomfortable conditions. Good wages have always been an incentive for quality work. The expanses of Russia and the rich natural resources form the labor market, which in all ages has been diverse and has always had highly paid professions. Economic changes and problems make their own adjustments to pay.
Criteria for pay
The monetary expression of wages has always depended on several factors. First of all, these are good professional skills and qualifications. The quality of work performance directly depends on a person’s skills, experience and knowledge. But not always high qualification gives economic effect and profit. It depends on the field of activity. Teacher of vocational school has a powerful store of knowledge, skills and experience in the profession. But his work of teaching ordinary students, who will become ordinary workers, will not give an obvious profit to the state. Consequently, his pay is not high, although he deserves more. But a high-quality turner, turning out important parts for turbines of nuclear power plants will always receive a salary in excess of even the engineer’s salary.
The success of a huge enterprise depends on his skills and qualities. He will deliberately pay a lot. Such specialists are often hunted by personnel officers from similar industries. And the fact of recruiting is quite real. This can be compared to the buying up of famous football clubs by clubs, although football is already a business. An important factor in pay is its increased risk and health risk. It is the work of a miner, oilman, metallurgist, chemist, nuclear power engineer, spiderman, rescuer, guard of valuable objects. In the process of such labor, a person loses precious health, which can be partially restored by high-quality rest and nutrition. And intellectuals are always valued, who with their mind can bring obvious benefits and profits, making discoveries and various innovations.
The list of profitable occupations
Statistics is very relative, but it names the most highly paid profession in Russia. Here are the latest results of the year:
- Manager, top management.
- Worker of the oil industry.
- Specialist in the field of computer technology.
- Business consultant.
- Auditor.
- Programmer.
- Chief Accountant.
- Dentist.
- Logist
- Chef.
We see the obvious advantage of mental professions that do not require the use of physical force in dangerous and harmful conditions. Above all, the work of the leader is valued - the person who controls the activities of thousands of workers, is responsible for them and thinks about the production process. Only two representatives of the working profession were on this list - an oilman and a cook. And this is solely due to the fact that their field of activity brings a good profit, they are valued by the employer. Even miners, whose work was always held in high esteem, were not included in this list.
The modern market economy considers the coal industry as unprofitable. In Russia, 70% of coal is mined. Therefore, there is no incentive for this work, for such a dangerous, but primitive work there are always willing ones. Mine is ready to take on personnel who do not claim high salaries. Unemployment and lack of alternatives do their work. The list has a representative of the medical profession. This is solely due to the large number of private dental clinics where the work of the doctor has become a business.
The rapid development of computer technology stimulates a good income army of programmers and IT people. Their activity today is extremely important; many industries and entire sectors of the economy depend on it. The rest of the professions are directly related to business and finance, which explains a good income. A competent businessman will always be interested in having a staff of qualified employees, on whose work the success of a business largely depends. Saving on their salary is insane. Only a well-off, satisfied life specialist will be able to make a profit and work efficiently, creatively.
Pareto principle
The Pareto 80/20 method can be applied to the place of a person in the labor market. 80% of the population, and in any countries, is not able to become leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians and people of intellectual labor. Therefore, they fill the market of ordinary and hard work, creating a certain competition. Market relations always regulate this process and do not provide a significant increase in the level of pay where there are many specialists and those who want to take an ordinary workplace.
Lack of specialists
The most popular professions in Russia over the past year are listed:
- IT specialist.
- Designer, engineer.
- Teacher.
- Lawyer, lawyer.
- Health worker.
- Marketer.
- Workforce Specialist.
- Worker with qualifications.
- Beauty Industry Specialist.
- Ecologist.
The list of popular and highly paid professions practically does not overlap. We see that the work of the required specialist is not always adequately paid. There are two reasons for this. Either it is a state budgetary organization, where funding is limited and, with all the desire to pay, elementary money is no longer enough. Or the economic effect of labor is not obvious and is limited by the same financial possibilities of the employer. For example, a health worker. Even if he works in a private clinic, her patients are not always very rich and are able to pay large sums for treatment. There is simply no source of the increase in the salary of a nurse or simple therapist.
Salaries in numbers
Any statistics is approximate, but comparative analysis can be done. It should be noted that the list provides the average salary in the industry. An example is that the chief doctor of a hospital receives several times more nurses. Therefore, the average value is given for the type of activity and field of activity:
- Financial activities - 70,000 rubles.
- Mining - 60000 rubles.
- Information technology - 50,000 rubles.
- State administration, military security - 40,000 rubles.
- Production and distribution of electricity, gas and water - 34,000 rubles.
- Manufacturing production - 30,000 rubles.
- Construction - 28,000 rubles.
- Trade and repair services 27000 rub.
- Education, medicine - 22,000 rubles.
- Agriculture, forestry - 17,000 rubles.
Much of the salary depends on the region. Moscow, regional centers, large industrial cities have always had a higher average income of people. The province, the province, the countryside has always been less attractive in this matter. The average difference is at least 30%!
Perspectives and Trends
The modern economy of Russia had and has a tendency to move towards market relations. Private capital, entrepreneurship makes more and more prospects and the lack of a limit in the amount of payment even for an ordinary employee. Many ordinary professions and specialties moved into the category of entrepreneurship, private business. The sphere of services, trade, transport - are increasingly becoming the sphere of activity of their business, where everyone has the right to set their own remuneration and personally evaluate their employees.
There can be only one obstacle - an economic limitation in making profits, often associated with the state of the country's economy. But economic wisdom must always be remembered - nowhere in the world do they pay much for simple, ordinary, low-initiative work. There are always such candidates! You have to be either a unique, valuable and talented employee, or sell your health and risk your life. Only personal initiative, talent and enterprise can make a person rich and wealthy.
