The research service of hh.ru, the largest Russian online platform for finding jobs and employees, conducted a survey among employees and job seekers of the Rostov region and found out whether the inhabitants of the region are ready to take those jobs that are usually invited by labor migrants, and if so, then under what conditions.
Employed residents of the Rostov region more often than other Russians answered that they were ready to take the jobs of labor migrants – 39% of the surveyed residents of the region admitted this. According to this indicator, the Rostov region ranks 3rd in the country, yielding only to the Krasnodar Territory (48%) and the Republic of Tatarstan (44%). In Russia as a whole, this indicator is significantly lower – 32%. Most often, they are ready to consider employment in positions previously occupied by labor migrants, representatives of the restaurant, hotel and tourism business, logistics and transportation, sales, construction, and retail trade.
At the same time, 21% of the respondents from Rostov are definitely not ready to take the jobs of labor migrants, another 12% believe that foreign citizens should continue to work in these jobs. The rest hesitated to answer.
“Meanwhile, residents of the Rostov region, who are ready to replace labor migrants, agree to do this only on certain conditions: the work performed must correspond to the profession of the applicant, good working conditions must be created in the company, the salary must be higher than that received by labor migrants,” Anastasia comments Kabinova, hh.ru analyst South.
Recall that according to the results of a recent survey by the research service hh.ru, almost half (48%) of working residents of the Rostov region believe that there are too many labor migrants in the region.
