Officials earn the most in the North Caucasus

The RIA Rating agency has published a rating of Russian cities by salaries in various industries. According to this information, the most profitable area in the capitals of the North Caucasus Federal District is the civil service. So, in Vladikavkaz, officials receive an average of 49 thousand rubles, in Magas - 50 thousand rubles, in Cherkessk - 51 thousand rubles, in Grozny - 54 thousand rubles, in Makhachkala - 58 thousand rubles. The exception is Stavropol, where employees of the banking sector earn more than others (65,000 rubles). The ranking did not include Nalchik.

In general, the salaries of employees of the highest paid industries in the North Caucasus Federal District are much inferior to the highest salaries in other capital cities of the Russian regions. According to this indicator, Stavropol is on the 69th place in the rating, Makhachkala - on the 80th, Grozny - on the 86th, Cherkessk - on the 91st, Magas - on the 92nd, Vladikavkaz - on the 93rd place.

The first place in the rating is occupied by Moscow - employees of financial organizations earn the most here (about 230 thousand rubles a month). On the last lines are Elista and Kirov, where they earn the most in the civil service - about 45 thousand.
