Putin considers a modest level of salaries in the social sphere

President Vladimir Putin called modest the level of salaries of people working in the social sphere, including in libraries. He stated this at the opening ceremony of social facilities in several regions, in which he took part in a video conference.

During the ceremony, he was told, in particular, about the library in Buryatia. In response, Mr. Putin said that today, November 30, he would discuss with the government the issues of the level of incomes and salaries in the country. “In the social sector, in general, such a modest level of wages. Especially in libraries,” he is convinced.

Finance Minister Anton Siluanov declaredthat the level of salaries of public sector employees in 2023 will increase by more than 8%. The corresponding indicators are included in the federal budget for 2023–2025.
