Zabaykalsky Krai Residents Shift on Salary Demands for Job Security

A recent study in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia, reveals a shift in residents' willingness to express their salary expectations for faster employment or job retention. Despite a 3% increase since the start of the year, 28% of residents are now open to lowering their salary demands.

The study, conducted by an unidentified researcher, found that young specialists aged 25-34 (57%) and 35-44 (60%) remain steadfast in their salary expectations. This trend is echoed across the Far East, with the Sakhalin region and Khabarovsk Krai reporting the highest willingness to express their expectations at 31% each.

Certain professions exhibit greater rigidity in salary matters. Top and middle management (65%), insurance agents (62%), automotive business employees (61%), procurement specialists (60%), and production workers (59%) are among the least likely to lower their salary expectations.

In the third quarter of 2025, nearly half (44%) of Zabaykalsky Krai's working residents refuse to lower their salary expectations for guaranteed employment. This marks a decrease in worker confidence since the beginning of the year, with a 13% drop in those willing to express their pay.
