Freight change: workers are ahead of it in salary growth
Since 2020, the IT sphere has demonstrated indisputable leadership in the salary race: the income of programmers grew up with a leading pace. During this time, salaries in IT have grown so much that the statistical effect of a high base began to affect. As a result, from last year we have been observing the change of leader: the salaries of qualified workers in industry are growing faster than IT. In January-March 2024, the difference in growth rate was insignificant: only 0.2 percentage points (1.8% in IT and 2% in working industries). But in January-March of this year, the gap is already more serious-1.7 percentage points. (3.6 versus 5.3%, respectively).
Superjob forecast
In 2025, the leading growth of workers’ salaries in industry and construction will continue, supported by inflationary expectations and a change in the structure of labor demand. Growth factors:
- Qualified workers are the most popular category of staff.
- Demographic situation. The aging of the applicant base.
- Salary indexation taking into account inflation.
- Workers in construction: growth in private housing construction with a decrease in the activity of mass developers, tightening migration legislation. The implementation of large infrastructure projects (construction of roads, bridges, energy facilities) requires the involvement of a large number of performers.
- Workers in industry: development of production within the country, import substitution. Automation of production has reduced the number of routine operations, but has not yet reached such a level to completely replace a person with robots.
