Named the most expensive working specialties of the Southern Urals

Grinders became the highest paid working specialty in the Chelyabinsk region in January-August 2026. The average salary offer reached 177 thousand rubles per month. Over the year, the indicator grew by 23%, analysts of Avito Work reported.

In second place were the masons. Employers offered them an average of 160 thousand rubles a month – 36% more than a year ago. Tiles offered about 150 thousand rubles, here the growth was 50%.

It is the amounts indicated in vacancies, and not the actual earnings of employees. Analysts calculated the average between the lower and upper limits of the salary fork. Bonuses, bonuses and other payments are not included in this figure. The final values can also be affected by the share of vacancies with a watch, where the rates are usually higher.

Avito Work associates the growth of offers with a shortage of specialists in industry and construction. High amounts are now recorded in metallurgy, the production of electrical and optical equipment and transport engineering.

In Russia, during the same period, the interest of applicants to a number of working professions has grown significantly. The number of responses to vacancies of road craftsmen increased by 112%, zootechnicians - by 105%, electricians - by 104%.
