Fresh survey showed that 83% of Russians in certain circumstances agree to work in areas that are occupied by migrant workers. 35% will go to such a move in a critical situation – and she, judging by negative forecasts of economists, is not far off. And only 16% will never work as janitors or builders.

the results of the study, we commented on the Chairman of the Central Committee of trade Union of labour migrants Renat Karimov
– We see that the survey shows a high motivation of Russian citizens to work, including places that are now occupied or have been occupied by visitors. This is good, in my opinion, the trend. The number of migrants will be reduced. People are leaving the opportunity to move back in they have not always. We welcome the willingness to work of the Russians.
How to change the number of migrant workers with the opening of the air service?
– first Let the border open. We don’t really believe in it. And so a certain number will come, some will leave. It’s like two pipes: one flows from the other flows. SKOonly people will come, we don’t know.
– a Third of Russians believe that immigrants increase competition. Agree?
– there would be migrants, there would be no competition. Want to sit home – sit, not want – to go to work. Or want to go to work as a janitor – go, no one bothers. We believe that migrants have arrived so much, how many possible jobs in the Russian Federation.
the Director of the school of educational training of migrants Elena Bakasov believes that the Russians are spoiled
– In 1970-1980th years worked, the Russians, Muscovites including janitors, handymen. People worked anyone, if only to feed the family.
– whether Russia is now to provide all labour and resources without workers?
– you Can. People will go to work – but where to go? Coronavirus showed that without the migrants who have to work.
– Where the Russians will go to work in the least?
– I think the hardest laborers to work on construction sites, of course.
