Now in the city about 2500 vacancies are designed for workers from 14 to 18 years old and their number will only increase. Experts believe that this is a seasonal surge. But in the country as a whole, the share of underage labor is continuously growing.
In 2024, St. Petersburg entrepreneurs are 54% more likely to hire teenagers aged 14 to 18. About 2,500 vacancies out of the total number of vacancies were created specifically for minors. Most often they are hired to work in transportation, delivery services and retail.
In June alone, the demand for teenage labor jumped by 30% compared to May, and this trend will continue in July. City businesses at this time are actively looking for seasonal workers. Such information HeadHunter service shared with RBC portal.
At the same time, the conditions are such that teenagers themselves have become much more willing to sell their labor. In St. Petersburg and the North-West Federal District, they posted more than 10,000 resumes. Across Russia, the number of vacancies for workers aged 14 to 18 has already reached 40,000, which is almost 200% more than two years earlier.
Prior to that, the HeadHunter service noted that the Orel region faced an acute shortage of workers in a variety of areas.
