Russia’s industrial worker shortage reached a new high last month, the RBC news website reported Thursday, citing a survey by the Yegor Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy.

Only 2% of the surveyed enterprises said they were overstaffed, with RBC noting that the stark shortage-to-surplus of workers ratio represents the widest margin in the past 28 years.

According to an April survey by Russia’s Central Bank, in the first quarter of 2023, worker shortages in Russia reached their highest level since records began in 1998.

    Short by what, about a quarter million? I mean seriously, a quarter million Russians have died for Putin’s ego.

        I’m alright with unvaccinated idiots dying of a preventable disease. It’s their choice, it is them been terminally stupid.

        But the Russians aren’t given a choice. Look at what happens to those who oppose Putin.

            I don’t think a GQP politician would even know how to be quiet. The only reason they got voted in was because they waved their arms around more than everyone else. In Boebert’s case, she’s going to lose to a Democrat because she hasn’t voted even once for the benefit of her district, and the Dem candidate is pushing that out as a big part of his platform. I just hope other states are seeing similar pushes.
