The scientific novelty consists in the substantiation of the personnel shortage in the Russian labor market as a local phenomenon. From a methodological perspective, the unsatisfied demand for labor was analyzed in correlation with the dynamics of tension in the labor market, and empirically, the basis for its study was the information selected according to special criteria from various organizations constantly engaged in personnel recruiting in the labor market or comparative analysis of demand for labor force and its supply. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that the personnel shortage currently recorded in Russia is a local phenomenon, having the nature of a trend that is constantly present in the Russian labor market in various quantitative values, individual professional niches, and locations. The paper provides numerous evidences that the personnel shortage, which has been forming for several years under the influence of objective and subjective causes and has worsened in the conditions of the Special Military Operation, is not universal and threatening, and the country has considerable untapped labor reserves. Possibilities and current ways to overcome imbalances between the demand for labor and its supply are shown.
