In 2019, this figure was equal to $ 400. As, however, in 2013, but then it decreased by almost 2 times. According to the State Statistics Service, residents of the Ukrainian capital have the highest average wages – UAH 20,455, or $ 751. The workers of the Kirovograd region receive the least – an average of $ 422.

There is no reason to expect an improvement in the situation this year.
