26/04: How Much Do People Earn in Moscow
Kommersant newspaper published an article, which has interesting stats about the income of Moscovitans in 2006.
It turns out the average income in 2006 was 365 832 Roubles (about $13 549 US or about $1120 per month - 22.5% higher than in 2005 and more than 300% higher than in 2001).
More than 30% Moscovitans have income of more than $1000 US per month, and the top 10% earn more than $5000 US per month.
13% of Moscovitans live below the poverty line ($100 / month and less).
It's interesting that an average salary in Moscow was about $650 US per month - the rest comes from additional sources of income (own business, shares, "unofficial" salary paid in envelopes). It's about 50% higher than the average Russian salary (which is $462 US per month).
