Speaking about the state of the economy, the president noted that overall the unemployment rate in Russia is declining (it is now 3.2%), while real wages are growing significantly.
“In April, by more than 10 percent,” Putin said. According to him, this is a good result.
However, the President drew the attention of the Cabinet of Ministers to the salaries of state employees.
– It is necessary to strictly comply with the goals set for the salaries of specialists employed in the public sector, otherwise there will be an overflow. We understand that people will leave the public sector. It is necessary to index them in a timely manner, these salaries, the head of state instructed.
