Recent surveys reveal striking patterns in daily work fatigue across major Russian cities, with Moscow-adjacent data often cited through industry briefings. One data set indicates that a substantial portion of Petersburg residents feel tired at work each day, a figure reported as 34 percent. Chelyabinsk follows closely, according to the same service, with about 40 percent of the population reporting daily fatigue. Among those who consistently feel exhausted month after month, residents of St. Petersburg appear to lead the list in some measures. This snapshot comes from a refill of press service materials that track workplace energy levels and related well being.
Further findings show seasonal and periodic fatigue patterns. By year end, roughly 15 percent of residents in the Northern capital report increased tiredness, 11 percent experience apathy at least twice a year, and 10 percent feel depleted every weekend. The remainder of the population rates their energy as adequate. Gender differences are evident: 34 percent of women report chronic energy deficiency, compared with 28 percent of men. The study also highlights occupational groups where fatigue is more pronounced, noting that marketing and public relations workers, researchers, teachers, and information technology professionals are among the most fatigued cohorts.
In another angle of the labor market narrative, historical data from the public employment sphere highlights the best paid roles in Russia for the period around January of 2023. Within this cross-section, engineers, ship captains, pilots, and programmers consistently ranked among the highest earners, underscoring the premium placed on technical expertise and leadership in complex operational fields. These salary indicators help frame the broader discussion about career demands, workload, and the potential impact on worker energy and engagement across regions.
