Russia's labor market is cooling after years of severe worker shortage. While official unemployment stays at record lows, employers are increasingly shifting workers to reduced hours, unpaid leave, or standby status rather than laying them off. Government analysts estimate 1.5 million people are in underemployment, with 3.7 million on unpaid leave as of year-end 2025. The auto industry is hit hardest, with roughly 60,000 workers underemployed, forcing manufacturers like KAMAZ and AvtoVAZ to reduce work weeks.
