Employment

This survey was carried out 24 – 27 April 2020 with a representative sample of all Russian urban and rural residents. The sample was comprised of 1608 people age 18 or older. The survey was conducted by means of computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) through random digit dialing (RDD) of mobile and landlines. The statistical error for this study does not exceed 2.4%. The answer distribution is presented as percentages of the total number of respondents.

Differences in survey methodology do not allow a direct comparison between April survey results and earlier data (this question is regularly posed in face-to-face interviews.) However, while accounting for these limitations and not assigning a quantitative value to changes, we note that subjective assessments of the labor sector have become more negative compared to the end of last year.
