Sharp devaluation of the hryvnia over the past few years “ate” high hryvnia salary. Says Executive Director of the International Fund blazer Oleg Ustenko, about a quarter of the consumer basket is imported. Rising dollar – rising prices of gasoline, energy, imported machinery, certain medications, etc. For example, exactly three years ago, the dollar in Ukraine is sold for 12 USD. At that time the salary of 10 thousand hryvnias – the equivalent of 800 dollars. Now $ 800 is already 21 thousand hryvnias.
Only in the last half year, the average salary grew by 25%, says HR expert Tatyana Pashkina. However, the Ukrainians still want to earn more than offered by the applicants.

“Wages are recently growing, the economy is stabiliziruemost, the number of vacancies increases. But if three years ago with the salary of 8 thousand hryvnias can be had for a few years to collect a good car, now this salary is enough to to eat properly and to pay the communal without subsidies”, – says Alexander Belous.

In the automobile business sphere the increase was 35%. Rapidly growing wages and sellers – plus 29%.
According to Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman, the average salary in the end of this year will reach more than seven thousand hryvnias, its growth will be 16%. This will allow not only to compensate for inflation this year, but for a few percent increase in the welfare of Ukrainians.
Who are looking for employers
“Now we need to constantly learn and complete their education. If you sat down and decided “I have enough”, that means salaries will be enough. And now we often hear from the employer that competition forces leave employees who do not have time for the company and hamper its growth. There is such a policy of “up or out” or grow together with the companies or the company is forced to part with you,” says Tatyana Pashkina.
