In late September, Izvestia, citing data from Rosstat, reported that the overall unemployment rate remains at a record low of 2.1%. At the same time, the number of Russians who could not find work for more than a year increased almost 1.5 times, to 226 thousand people. In July, their share among the unemployed was 13.3% against 9.7% a year earlier.
According to the publication, the longest period of job search was observed among young people and people of pre-retirement age. Among the reasons, experts called increased competition for office vacancies, low salaries, the spread of artificial intelligence and an increase in hiring terms.
At the end of September, Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov said that the historically low unemployment rate remains a limit for the Russian economy.
In the same month, Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting on the economy said that unemployment is near historic lows of 2.3%.
