These various factors include region's infrastructure, localized population, low population density, harsh climate and other features of the northern territories of Russia. The main governmental activities on leveling of negative influence of the region’s features on the human resources of the Russian Federation territorial subjects are analyzed. Three indicators characterizing the labor market have been chose. They are the average nominal monthly wage of employees, the level of unemployment and the level of population economic activity.
