🇷🇺⚡️ — Courier wages in Russia have risen sharply, with the median advertised monthly salary reaching 190,000 rubles ($2,260) in September, a 38.7% increase from a year earlier, according to Kommersant.

In Moscow, full-time car couriers are offered a median of 150,000 rubles ($1,785) monthly, with some positions paying up to 350,000 rubles ($4,170). Foot couriers can earn between 105,000 and 200,000 rubles ($1,250–$2,380).

Russian employers posted more than 219,800 courier vacancies between January and October, twice as many as a year earlier.

Industry analysts attribute the wage increases to growing demand, labor shortages and the departure of more than 150,000 migrant workers over the past year.
