Yekaterinburg and Perm lead in the share of residents who begin their workday with purpose, according to findings reported by Radio 1 based on a survey conducted by analysts from the Avito Work service. The study gathered input from more than ten thousand participants, revealing that 49 percent of respondents feel comfortable starting work in the morning. These results offer a glimpse into regional work rhythms across Russia and hint at the ways local environments shape daily productivity. (Source: Avito Work, 2023)
The survey highlights that about one in five people struggles to start a new day without some difficulty, while roughly one-third report not always finding it easy to begin work in the morning. Experts emphasize that individual pacing varies from person to person, and flexibility from management can help accommodate different rhythms. Ariel Kumpel, a leading figure at the Avito Work service, notes that recognizing these differences is key to sustaining performance and morale as the day unfolds. (Source: Avito Work, 2023)
Regional productivity patterns emerge clearly in the data: Yekaterinburg and Perm show the highest rates of morning productivity at around 55 percent, followed closely by Omsk and Volgograd, each recording about 53 percent. In contrast, several larger hubs report lower morning momentum, with Chelyabinsk around 29 percent, Nizhny Novgorod about 24 percent, and St. Petersburg also near 24 percent. The spread underscores how local conditions, urban infrastructure, and work culture can influence how quickly people shift into high gear at the start of the day. (Source: Avito Work, 2023)
Beyond daily routines, the research also sheds light on job market dynamics in Russia. Early October data show a notable rise in average salaries across the country in 2023 compared with 2022, reflecting a 38 percent increase in overall pay levels. The human resources management sector stood out as the field with the most new vacancies during the third quarter of 2023, while the total number of job openings in that period doubled from the same quarter a year earlier. These trends point to a recovering and evolving employment landscape, with HR roles playing a central part in workforce development. (Source: Avito Work, 2023)
The study also touches on seasonal employment opportunities, indicating that autumn can be a favorable time to explore part-time work across various sectors. The data suggest that workers in search of flexible arrangements may find fall to be a practical window for testing different roles and schedules while balancing commitments and income.
