Not long ago, the Prime Minister of Belarus, Roman Golovchenko, reported that wages in the republic showed a 13% increase.
And the National Statistical Committee noted that the average salary in the country in October settled at 2,363 rubles 40 kopecks.
True, in the latter case there is a nuance: the Belstat data concerns the October nominal accrued average wage.
Where and who earns the most
The leader among regions in terms of the highest monthly average salaries is Minsk. Belstat cites the figure of 3,149 rubles 40 kopecks.
The top three also includes Minsk and Gomel regions, whose figures in October were 2,406.2 and 2,134.6 rubles, respectively.
Next come Grodno (2,111.9), Brest (2,110.9), Vitebsk (1,988.6) and Mogilev (1,974.6) regions.
Among the employees, the department recorded the highest salaries among representatives of the information and communications sector – 5,646 rubles 60 kopecks. On average.
The TOP-3 also included financiers and insurers (3,578 rubles 90 kopecks) and builders (2,951.5 rubles).
Behind them are those who are engaged in professional, scientific and technical activities. These people earn an average of 2,919.4 rubles.
They are followed by workers in industry (2,622.8 rubles) and transport, warehousing, postal and courier services (2,463.7).
Mozyr
All the figures given above are just average statistical indicators.
This means that the real salaries of Belarusians in recent times, say, for November-early December, may differ significantly.
But they can be not only lower than the average, but also higher. Even in regional centers, which is clearly visible in the vacancies in the database of the state employment service.
If we consider the situation using the city of Mozyr as an example, we can see that today there are salaries there that you won’t always find even in Minsk.
In particular, in this city of the Gomel region, a metal roofer can earn from 5,000 to 5,500 rubles.
This is exactly how much the Tossat company is willing to pay him monthly.
