{{Monthly wages in Moscow average at around $1,800, although most workers earn substantially less than that amount, a city official said.}}<\/p>\n
“It’s not that we all live affluently here, it’s related to the fact that in Moscow there’s a big rift between the low-paid and the high-paid,” Deputy Mayor for Social Development Leonid Pechatnikov said, m24.ru reported.<\/p>\n
The differences between the salaries of Russian managers and their subordinates is among the highest in the world, and it’s growing, according to a study by the international consulting company Hay Group, Vedomosti reported.<\/p>\n
Russian managers in 2013 earn on average 12.5 times more than the workers beneath them, up from 11.1 times more in 2011.<\/p>\n
For comparison, in the U.S. and Western Europe managers’ salaries are about 3.5 times higher than those of their subordinates.<\/p>\n
The average may also be skewed by the fact that Moscow contains more billionaires than any other city in the world \u2014 84, with a combined fortune of over $366 billion, according to Forbes magazine’s 2013 list of the top 10 billionaires cities.<\/p>\n
In 2012 the average Russian salary was 23,600 rubles, RIA Novosti reported.<\/p>\n
