How to read this table
The rows in the list distinguish between specific economic sectors, allowing for a comparison of the scale of employment across different niches. It is possible to compare the total headcount in the extractive industry with narrow segments, such as crude oil and natural gas extraction or coal mining. This approach helps to visualize the labor market structure and identify which industries have been the most labor-intensive nationwide over the last five years
What is visible in these numbers
The five highest values: Manufacturing (7,141), Mining of mineral resources (1,089), Manufacturing — production of food… (988.6), Manufacturing — production of beverages… (846.3), Manufacturing — production of metals… (479.2). The gap between the highest and lowest is 939.6 times. The top five account for 71.3% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Annual observations, the dataset contains 5 observation periods. There are 125 values in the table out of 125 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 2020 to 2024 and include data for all organizations in Russia. The information is published annually and is suitable for labor market analysis, studying the human resource potential of industry, and employment planning across various sectors
