“Here it just flashed that the courier’s wages can be more than the engineer’s wages. This is obviously a bias. And this, of course, should not be the case. Despite the fact that the market increasingly requires people who are engaged in service functions, nevertheless, this is not a normal situation. This, of course, is a reason for the state and our party to think about how to regulate all this,” Medvedev said at an extended meeting on improving labor legislation.
Medvedev also added that despite the importance of the digital sphere, real production has not disappeared from life.
«And if we have a large-scale flow of people from the real sector to this sector, this could someday create real problems for us. Real problems, which, by the way, we are now forced to solve during a special military operations when we don’t have enough workers, and couriers from the street, or, so to speak, those who are engaged in private delivery, we, of course, cannot send there to factories,” he added.
