The chairman of the State Council’s Committee of the Republic of Crimea on economic, fiscal and tax policy Vitaly Nahlupin said that the staffing shortage in Crimea was caused by low wages and incommensurably high food prices, RIA Krym informs.
He stressed that people even refused to be in the government’s employ.
“Staff turnover that we have now in the Simferopol municipality exceeds all reasonable limits – 109 people resigned from their job and another 10 people are considering this option. According to the administration head Bakharev, a basic salary is 11 thousand rubles (3 thousand hryvnyas) there. Of course, this rate doesn’t represent working hours. It is a too small salary to provide more or less normal living standards in today’s Crimea,” Nahlupin said.
Nahlupin stressed that low wages that don’t meet living standards in the country force Crimeans to seek employment outside the peninsula. As a result, a significant part of human resources moves to mainland Russia and their places are occupied by migrant workers in Crimea.
