The North Caucasus republics are the outsiders in terms of the share of high-productivity jobs

According to the RIA Rating study, the North Caucasus republics occupy the lowest places in the rating of Russian regions in terms of the number of high-productivity jobs. These positions are characterized by a salary level above the industry average.

Dagestan took the last place: there are only 85 high-productivity jobs per thousand workers. The situation is slightly better in neighboring Ingushetia, where the number of such jobs is 88 per thousand employees.

Kabardino-Balkaria is in 83rd place with a score of 111, Chechnya is in 82nd (115), Karachay-Cherkessia is in 81st, and North Ossetia is in 80th.

The Nenets Autonomous Okrug is in third place with a figure of about 811 high-performance jobs per thousand employees.
