Abstract

At the same time, service industry gives new options to rural people and rural territory to broaden economic diversity and make it less damaged by mining activities. The service sector provides new opportunities for rural people in search of a job. The authors revise the average month wages in different economic sectors in the Republic of Karelia.

Highlights
Unemployment in the countryside is the great problem, notably, for Russian Federation due to its large territories
We argue that in the era of postindustrial economy and digital economy, agricultural products, but non-importables mentioned by Van der Ploeg et al [3], Ray C. [4] are able to preserve the environment and cultural authenticity
We can discuss about health service, but in Russian Federation the health services are free for people so major population use state hospitals
Summary
Unemployment in the countryside is the great problem, notably, for Russian Federation due to its large territories. People leave their native places and migrate to big cities of Russia in search of job. We cannot tell that about the countryside due to the fact that service industry is almost absent there. It should be mentioned that info communications and info communicational services influence on the development of service industry. Digital literacy and Internet coverage makes the core role for individuals to find a job or to sell their services. That is why we can say that the Internet coverage of a territory makes one of the most important roles for territorial development today
