Who is ready to change St. Petersburg to another region because of the crisis?

More than ¼ of Petersburgers have seriously thought about changing the region of residence in order to search for more promising work. According to the results of the social survey conducted in May 2015 by the authoritative portal for employment in St. Petersburg, the following results were obtained: almost one-fourth of respondents (and there were about 1250 people) are ready to change the city of residence if they can find a more paid job. 1/5 of respondents believe that such a turn of events is possible in the short term, and 15% think about continuing career development abroad.

However, everything is not so pessimistic: almost 20% of respondents categorically refused to even think about a possible move, with 15% of them recently moved to St. Petersburg and do not intend to leave it.

Reasons for moving

One of the good reasons for labor migration is the possibility of finding an interesting, and most importantly, a well-paid project or working in a company of dreams.

Another no less important reason, seriously affecting the thinking of able-bodied citizens of St. Petersburg, is unemployment in St. Petersburg: at least 1/3 of respondents noted tensions and high competition in the job market. The situation on the labor market of St. Petersburg today is going through not the best of times. There has been a significant increase in the activity of applicants over the past six months. As a result, it is very difficult to find a well-paid job for inexperienced young professionals. However, among the contenders for leadership positions there is a high level of competition.

Among other reasons: specific climate and personal motives.

However, the main reason for changing the region is high salary expectations from working in another city and building a fast career.
