Jobs are not plentiful. You hoard so you have something to barter later. For instance, you buy gasoline by the can from a roadside vendor selling out of their trunk. In the bigger cities you take your windshield wipers in with you at night. A bar can be a strip bar, country-western with a comedian on stage and off-duty soldiers guarding the front door with sub-machine guns. To immigrate. I don't see why not. Everything has an answer in Russia when the machine is well oiled. Guard your vodka well komrad and you will have your friends.

When considering the availability of jobs, the Russian job market is rather open, and the unemployment average for the nation is approximately 6.40%, according to the CIA World Factbook. In my opinion, the unemployment percentage represents a high quantity of available jobs, and the economy is gradually becoming more prosperous, so I would expect a lower statistic in the future. If you compare the standard of living of people in the United States to the Russians, one could definitely conclude that the living conditions are better in America. According to the CIA World Factbook, the life expectancy of the Russians is 59 for males and 73 for females, compared to America with 75 for males and 81 for females. Also, the scarcity of food in some parts of Russia conclude that the average living conditions of the Russians are unsatisfactory, when compared to American standards. With many restrictions and requirements specific to the immigration of foreigners to Russia, various limitations can be present if someone has a criminal background or has false information. If moving to Russia, you can find all the information you need at the U.S. Department of State Travel Info. Center (4th link). In response to your question about whether the Russians are hospitable to Americans, a friend of mine stayed in Moscow and St. Petersberg for two weeks and said that all the people were very, very curious about what life is like in America. You should expect many questions about life in America and the English language because he was bombarded with questions from inquisitive people on the street. One thing I would really like for you to know is that the Russians are somewhat miserable because of all the corruption and crime, so if you decide to live in Russia, don't expect everyone to be optimistic and cordial. In conclusion, you should expect the majority of people to ask you tons of questions about America because most foreigners have interests in what life is like in the United States. In addition to that, understand that the living standards and conditions are significantly different than those in the U.S.; in other words, the life in the United States is better with more options of food and more operational utilities (i.e., heating, plumbing, electricity, etc). There are many qualifications that you need to meet, in order to move to Russia, so you should be aware of the fact that you could be denied for reasons concerning various pieces of info. that you can find out more about at the U.S. Department of State Travel site. With jobs, the amount of available occupations is in high demand, so you should have no trouble locating the profession perfect for you. I hope this is helpful. =]
