This is 5 thousand more than the average salary offer for teachers in the Northern capital, according to the service Headhunter.
According to the vice-governor, the salaries of machine operators will also grow and will amount to 112 thousand rubles, which he called quite a good salary. Such a significant increase in income is designed to solve the problem of the shortage of personnel in the field of housing and communal services.
It is noteworthy that by mid-October 2026, city services were staffed with janitors by only 86%, and this figure has not changed over the past month. Meanwhile, according to HeadHunter at the beginning of October this year, the average salary offer in the job market was about 69 thousand rubles.
