Average salary is a vague concept, as it is not determined by a particular industry, narrow specialization, employee experience, social benefits for employment, environmental hazards, and many other factors. Especially in Moscow, where the average salary, for example, of a leading programmer, can be 3-4 times higher than the average salary of an unskilled worker.
But since the average salary in Moscow (and in the regions too) - this is an indicator with practical application, they try to designate it somewhere in the middle between a leading specialist and an unskilled worker.
Oddly enough, but this indicator is involved even in the formation of supply and demand for housing. Higher average salaries in one region attract specialists from others there. As a result, there is an increase in demand for rental and purchase of housing, for conventional and mortgage loans. Construction companies begin intensive development of the region, in which demand for housing is increasing.
Where is the main budget of the country concentrated
It is generally accepted that 65% of the country's budget is concentrated in the center of Russia - in Moscow. As many believe, this state of affairs provides the inhabitants of Moscow with more decent material well-being. And high competition forces employers to raise employees' salaries in order to keep them.
