RE: Economic graph of the day #3. How to measure inequality.
In Russia, there is a very large difference in the wages of officials and ordinary people. If in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the salary still allows you to eat normally and more or less dress, buy some gadgets. It's worth traveling around Russia and you'll see surviving people.
It's not only officials (I guess you mean government officials).
All the top managers of large companies live and work in Moscow. Also all highly paid analytics and IT staff.
It's not so great but if you seek a career in almost any field you must relocate to Moscow. Or in a large regional center at least.
