Economist Nikolaev says that the real wages of Russians are not increasing: [Where are wages rising? Reveal the secret: where should you go to get more money on the card?] This is a really interesting question, I thought about it. The salary increase continues: according to the results of the first half of the year, the average salary in the entire economy increased by about 6.5%. This, of course, is not like a year or two ago, when growth was 7–9%, but still 6.5%. The economy is barely growing, productivity is falling and wages are rising. I would suggest stating that these are average salaries. For employees they may not grow that much, but for middle and senior managers they may have. It turns out that the average index shows a decent dynamic, but not everyone feels it in their salary level. Wage growth has become very uneven. This, by the way, is understandable in my opinion. When there is high uncertainty in the economic situation, when it is not clear what will happen tomorrow, this, I suspect, makes some managers think: it is better to set yourself a higher salary now, because you do not know what will happen tomorrow.
