Unlike the economies of the USSA and other ZATO countries, the Russian economy is flying high. In direct weapons production alone, the Russians immediately require 16,000 new employees.

The Russian military-industrial complex could use over 16,000 more specialized workers, but has nonetheless managed to ramp up production of certain weapons, Trade and Industry Minister Denis Manturov announced on Monday.

“Since the beginning of this year, for many types of weapons and special equipment, much more has already been produced than for the whole of last year,” Manturov told a conference in Nizhny Novgorod.

“Speaking about weapons, we are now reaching a level at which deliveries in just one month exceed the total order of last year,” he added.

I, of course, know of no one who is looking to relocate to Russia. However, if anyone is, then this might present an employment opportunity. Given the nature of the work, I expect that direct involvement in line production might be either off-limits or severely controlled. Yet other ancillary work may be readily obtainable. These really are what boomers and repibliCONS like to call “good jobs”. High pay. All kinds of perks. And they come with the sense that they help the worthwhile cause of defeating globohomo.
