Until recently, almost the main flow of illegal workers was heading to Moscow. Now, labor migration is changing its directions depending on the economic situation. As the Federal Migration Service notes, people are no longer so eager to go to Moscow. Moreover, the capital's quota has been reduced by more than 100,000 people, because in these difficult times jobs go primarily to local residents. Muscovites themselves no longer disdain professions such as bus or trolleybus driver. It is not surprising that in the situation of rising unemployment, the circulation of such specialized publications is only growing.
Well, some guest workers go to seek their fortune in the Russian hinterland. 'People who do not find work in Moscow try to find it in the Ivanovo, Yaroslavl, Kaluga, Kostroma regions,' said the head of the Moscow Federal Migration Service department, Fedor Karpovets. 'Naturally, not finding work, they return to Moscow, and during that period of stay (90 days), if they do not find work, as a rule, some of them leave, while another part, we admit, go into illegal status.'
FMS representatives admit that Moscow cannot yet do without foreign labor migrants, but everything must be within the framework of the law.
