Wage disparity of 2%: Primorsky region trails behind regional peers
=====================================================================
In the vast expanse of Russia's Far Eastern Federal District, salary patterns vary significantly across its diverse regions. While the district is known for its lower average salaries compared to the national average, there are notable differences within the region.
According to data provided by Primorsktat to the Vladivostok mayor's office, the average salary of Vladivostok residents exceeded 120,000 rubles in January-May 2025, which is approximately five times the subsistence minimum for the able-bodied population. This figure is notably higher than the median salary for the district, which stood at 84,177 rubles in July 2025, marking a 5% growth from the start of the year.
Regions like Magadan and Kamchatka often have higher average wages due to their natural resource industries, but they also face high living costs. For instance, the median salaries in Chukotka (125,494 rubles), Magadan region (123,864 rubles), and Yakutia (98,369 rubles) are among the highest in the Far East. However, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and the Primorsky region offer lower salaries with figures of 79,452 rubles and 82,168 rubles respectively.
On the other hand, more remote or less developed areas have lower wages. For example, Buryatia offers the lowest salaries among the regions, with 71,837 rubles. The region of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug has even seen a decrease in proposed salaries from the start of the year, amounting to -1,743 rubles.
The high proportion of shift work vacancies in the regions of Chukotka, Magadan, and Yakutia may explain the high salaries found there. Despite this, the above-average salary offers in the Far East can also be found in the Magadan region and Yakutia, in addition to Kamchatka Krai, Amur Oblast, Sakhalin Oblast, and Zabaykalsky Krai.
It's important to note that the available information mostly pertains to other topics or different countries, and specific, up-to-date data on the distribution of average salaries in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia, nor direct comparisons with the district median or Russia's national median, were not found in the recent search results. For precise current salary distribution by region, and comparative medians in the district and Russia overall, regional statistical offices or the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) publish detailed labor market data.
In conclusion, while the Far Eastern Federal District lags behind the national average in terms of salaries, there are significant differences within the district. Regions with natural resource industries and high living costs tend to have higher salaries, while more remote or less developed areas have lower wages. For the most accurate and up-to-date data, it's recommended to consult regional statistical offices or the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat).
