According to the results of the survey "Avito Rabota", it took the first place in the rating of the most prestigious areas of work, according to Russians: 38% of respondents voted for it. According to respondents, the attractiveness of this industry is due to decent salaries, high required level of qualification of specialists, as well as opportunities for career growth", - explained the director of the category "Workers and line professions" "Avito Rabota" Andrey Kucherenkov.

Earlier, on February 13, it was reported that in January in Russia the highest-paid working professionals were drivers, representatives of the construction and decoration of premises, as well as employees of the automotive business. As Kucherenkov noted, the growth of salary offers in working specialties is associated with both the shortage of qualified personnel and the increase in the volume of orders in key industries.
