Labor Market
Due to its unusually high population density (the third highest of all oblasts or republics in Russia), Chuvashia possesses a large labor pool for a republic of its size. The people of the republic are also its greatest asset, as they are served by five higher educational institutions and 28 colleges and technical schools which are currently training approximately 45,000 students.
Due to the high-density of engineering companies and research institutions, the technical education level of the workforce, especially in the area of electrical engineering, is quite high. Additionally, average salaries in Chuvashia are quite low, with reported average incomes hovering around $50. Therefore, due to the high average education level and low costs, the Chuvash workforce has a significant competitive advantage over other areas of the world.

Famous quotes containing the words labor and/or market:
“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“But the nomads were the terror of all those whom the soil or the advantages of the market had induced to build towns. Agriculture therefore was a religious injunction, because of the perils of the state from nomadism.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
