Here’s a summary of the latest data and key developments in the labour and jobs market in Russia (with a mix of official statistics and media-reports).

✅ Positive headline numbers
Russia’s unemployment rate has fallen to very low levels — in May 2025 the rate hit 2.2%, an all-time low, down from 2.3% the month prior.
Employment-rate data: For example, total employment (workplace‐based) for 2024 was about 73.3 million people.
The published “labour force” in September 2025: about 76.2 million, with employment about 74.6 million and unemployment around 1.6 million people.
These suggest that from a statistical viewpoint, the labour market in Russia appears tight (i.e., low unemployment).

⚠️ But some warning signs / context
Despite low unemployment, job vacancies and hiring appear to be cooling. A report noted a ~15% drop in new job openings in early 2025 compared to a year earlier.
Also: Some sectors are seeing labour shortages (especially skilled labour, construction, manufacturing) despite the low unemployment number. For example, in 2024 factories recruited ~47,000 foreign workers, exceeding quotas, to make up for shortages.
The employment rate (share of working‐age population employed) also showed some decline: e.g., for August 2025, the employment rate decreased to 61.90% from 62% in July.
