In Novosibirsk for nine months of 2026, the number of officially registered unemployed increased by 32%. Such data are presented in the draft forecast of the socio-economic development of the city, prepared by the mayor's office for the formation of the budget for the next three years.
According to the document, by the end of September, 3.3 thousand people were registered in employment services. By the end of 2025, about 2.5 thousand residents of the city had the status of unemployed.
Thus, in nine months, the number of official unemployed increased by about 800 people. The statistics take into account only citizens registered in employment centers, and not all residents who are looking for work.
Despite the increase in indicators, the city authorities do not predict further growth of unemployment. It is planned to stabilize the situation through state measures to support employment, as well as vocational training and retraining programs, taking into account the needs of employers.
Earlier, MK in Novosibirsk reported a reduction in the number of vacancies in the city by 35%.
