BOFIT Viikkokatsaus / BOFIT Weekly Review 2016/23
The best-paying fields overall are oil refining (€1,300 a month), oil & gas production, pipeline transmission and finance (each around €1,000 a month). Russia’s low-paid fields include trade, education and the health services branch (about €400 a month), and construction (€440). Public administration jobs, including administration in social services and defence paid around €600 a month.
Estimates say unrecorded wages account for about 15 % of the average pay package. Rosstat estimates of unrecorded production connote the share of unrecorded wages varies very much across branches. In particular, pay in the construction and trade branches is better than official figures indicate.
