Abstract
The positive impact of the virtual labour market development is examined, its capabilities and capacity, as well as the annual effect of the introduction of flexible employment forms, are evaluated. In particular, the features of the Russian labour market, which is starting to use virtual forms, are analyzed: the structure of the areas of employment of remote workers is still narrow - IT, programming; sales finance, accounting; online employment; design; customer support services. This tendency was especially pronounced in the context of a pandemic that changed the attitude of people towards distance work. It is emphasized that in the near future, each employee will have to have digital skills for work and social integration. WEF identifies five separate groups of demanded skills: business, specialized industry, general and soft skills, technical basic skills, technical breakthrough skills. Despite the fact that communication and thinking skills are brought to the forefront, digital skills allow people to create and share digital content, communicate and solve problems, to learn, perform work and social activities in an effective and creative way as a whole. The high level of employees with digital competencies at different levels in the company will provide it with a number of competitive advantages. Neoclassical models that reflect the relationship between economic growth and the growth of human capital are considered. State support for investments in education, research and development, accumulating new knowledge can be considered as the most important endogenous growth factor.
Highlights
In the context of the rapid integration of digital technologies into all spheres of human life, the classical labor market is gradually supplemented and, in part, replaced by a virtual market
Labor in the digital economy becomes autonomous and mobile, and the performance of labor functions is associated with the acquisition of additional competencies
In a study of remote employment in the Russian Federation, conducted by Bitrix24 and J'son & Partners Consulting, it is noted that the annual effect due to the introduction of a flexible and efficient organization of working time is estimated at 27 billion rubles, savings on the maintenance of an office workplace - at 38 billion rubles, expanding the geography of recruitment and reducing labor costs - in the amount of 3 billion rubles.

Summary
In the context of the rapid integration of digital technologies into all spheres of human life, the classical labor market is gradually supplemented and, in part, replaced by a virtual market. In the studies we studied, we are talking about the transformation of traditional labor relations, implying clearly defined rights and obligations for both employers and employees [13]. These relationships are increasingly being replaced by new and fluid forms of employment that create a class of “digital workers” [9]. Digital employment is classified as distance, or remote, which, in turn, is a non-standard form of employment
