| Summary | The article emphasizes that the study of economic history of individual regions, such as Siberia, is necessary to create a full-fledged understanding of regional social and economic processes thus providing a more complete perception of the country’s development as a whole. It addresses wage differentiation among three groups of workers in the Siberian Krai who were employed in mining and manufacturing industries, construction and railway transport in 1925–1929. The main sources of the study were two related statistical publications — “Byulleten’ statistiki truda Sibirskogo kraya” and “Byulleten’ statistiki truda i promyshlennosti” published in Novosibirsk in 1926–1929. Based on the construction of time series and their processing, the authors consider the inter-branch differences in the size of the average wages of industrial workers and discuss the relationship between the most and the least paid industries and the tendencies of its change. The difference in daily wages between unskilled (blue-collar workers) and skilled construction workers is also discussed. The differentiation of wages in railway transport is shown both by professional groups and in accordance with qualifications and field of activity. The authors discuss the salary of the railway administration employees and its correlation with other professional groups as well as the issue (in a cross-sectoral and intra-sectoral context) of whether there was a tendency towards equalization of wages in the second half of the 1920s. | ||
