Regions of the North Caucasus are at the bottom of the rating of subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of salary dynamics

On average in Russia, the salary of half of the working population may exceed 100 thousand rubles in less than five years. The worst dynamics are in Ingushetia and Chechnya.

In Ingushetia, it will take 15.4 years for half of the residents to start receiving salaries above 100 thousand rubles. In Chechnya, it will take almost 14 years. These regions occupy the last places in the country in the RIA Novosti rating for this indicator - 85th and 84th.

Dagestan was in 83rd place (10.8 years to achieve the above result), Kabardino-Balkaria - in 82nd (10 years), North Ossetia - in 81st (9.5 years), Karachay-Cherkessia - in 79th (8.9 years) Stavropol Krai - in 75th (7.8 years).

The top regions in terms of salary dynamics are Yamal, Chukotka and Magadan Oblast, where half of the population either already receives a salary of more than 100 thousand rubles per month, or will receive it in a year and a half or earlier.

According to RIA Novosti estimates, half of the Russian Federation's workers received less than 56 thousand rubles per month at the beginning of 2025.
