There is a support service for the population of Sayanogorsk and a city employment center. Salaries, judging by the vacancies of employers, are acceptable according toRussian standards. However, the vacancies themselves will not be to everyone's taste. No working speci alties were found in the latter. Most of all, doctors are needed, which is typical for other Russian cities.
