The salary growth continues to increase in the 1st quarter of 2014
Despite the essential growth retardation, the situation in the field of employee compensation demonstrates the steady upward trend. The nominal gross salary on average per month in the Russian Federation in the 1st quarter of 2014 amounted to 30 092.1 rubles, having increased on 9.9% by the similar period of the last year.
The salary, higher than the national average, was assessed in 18 entities. The dwellers of the Far North and equivalent areas have the highest salaries (the excess is over 1.8-2.3 times).
Moscow is also on the top with its average salary 56 003.5 rubles (4th place). In St. Petersburg the payroll rate falls behind to Moscow’s by 1.5 times (37 556.8 rubles, 12th place).
According to the 1st quarter of 2014 the minimum salary was assessed in the Altai Krai - 17 908.5 rubles, in the Republic of Dagestan - 17 796.9 rubles and in the Republic of Kalmykia - 17 742.3. It is 4 times less than in regions with the highest payroll rate.
After the Crimea was joined to Russia, two new entities were formed: the Federal City of Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea. Up to the present, the salary rate data was provided by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and expressed in rubles it turned out to be 2.5-3 times less than the national average - 11 676.6 and 10 923.9 rubles, respectively. In comparison with the region with the minimum salary (the Republic of Kalmykia), even there will be its underrun: 34.2% for Sevastopol and 38.4% for the Republic of Crimea.
In relative terms the maximum salary growth according to the 1st quarter of 2013 was evidenced in the Republic of Dagestan - 16.4%, the minimum was in the Vologda Region – 4.2%.
Both capitals of Russia have almost the same salary rate growth – Moscow – 9.5%, St. Petersburg – 10.3%.
At the same time, the situation, when the ruble suffered from its devaluation at the beginning of the year, had an impact on the purchase power rate of salaries. In terms of dollars at the rate of the Central Bank the nominal salary in the 1st quarter of the current year decreased on 4.9% by the same period of 2013, Moscow – 5.2%, St. Petersburg – 4.5%.
As a result, the salary rate growth did not compensate the ruble’s devaluation to the major currencies in the majority of regions. The only exception is the Republic of Dagestan where the small runup to 0.8% was evidenced.
