In Russia, an increase in average salaries was recorded for representatives of a number of professions, in particular, for photographers, who, according to the results of April 2026, began to receive 1.6 times more in annual terms. This was reported on July 7 in RIA Novosti with reference to statistics.

Translators began to occupy the second place in terms of monthly income growth. Their services now bring in 55% more than in 2025. The top three in this list are completed by employees from the non-state pension fund (NPF). The labor incomes of these specialists increased by exactly 50%.

Salary increases were also found for organizations engaged in copying recorded media (by 47%), designers (45%), lawyers (44%), recording studios (44%), gas production experts (41%) and reinsurance employees (39%).

These conclusions, as added in the "Newspaper.Ru", were made on the basis of data obtained without tax deduction and taking into account employee bonuses. So, in 2026, Russians involved in these areas receive an average of 109.1 thousand rubles. In 2025, this figure was 97.4 thousand rubles.
