In the next few years, the unemployment rate in Russia will remain in the range of 2.2-2.5%. This forecast was voiced by the Minister of Labor Anton Kotyakov in an interview with RBC.

This is our benchmark given the existing socio-demographic model of the labor market, its structure, and growth rates in individual industries," he stressed.

According to Kotyakov, a further decrease in unemployment to 2.1% is possible, but it will be temporary, seasonal in nature. In particular, in the summer, during the period of high demand for workers in construction, road construction, and tourism.
