Those employees who are employed part-time or have a part-time job should also have a salary not lower than the minimum wage. Only they will receive less in hand, since the salary is considered proportional to the time worked. Plus, don’t forget about personal income tax withholding.

Average salary in Crimea in 2022
According to the “tradition” that developed back in the USSR, a significant part of the services for vacationers in Crimea was provided by private individuals, and not by officially registered organizations. Thanks to this, “shadow” earnings made up a significant part of the income of Crimeans back in Soviet times. During the Ukrainian period, this trend intensified even more, and there is no reason to think that it will disappear until the flow of tourists dries up, or the “official” recreation industry is unable to satisfy all the demand of vacationers at more attractive prices. Most cities in Crimea depend on tourism, with some exceptions being Simferopol, the administrative center of the region, and Sevastopol, the base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Many food products are delivered from other regions of the Russian Federation or from abroad. Due to the fact that supplies from Ukraine and some other countries have been difficult in the last two years, prices for many goods in the Republic of Crimea have increased from 9% to 108%. This dynamic, which was not accompanied by a proportional increase in household incomes, had a negative impact on the state of domestic trade and other sectors of the economy. In the following years, thanks to the help of the federal center, the situation largely improved. However, the blockade by Ukraine and many other states still creates serious problems for the development of the region.
