Labor - Literacy in Uzbekistan is almost universal, and workers are generally well-educated and trained. Most local technical and managerial training does not meet international business standards, but foreign companies engaged in production report that locally hired workers learn quickly and work effectively. Foreign firms generally find that younger workers, untainted by the Soviet system, work well at all levels. The government emphasizes foreign education and each year sends about 400 students to the United States, Europe, and Japan for university degrees, after which they have a commitment to work for the government for 5 years. Some American companies offer special training programs in the United States to their local employees.
With the closure or downsizing of many foreign firms, it is relatively easy to find qualified, well-trained employees, and salaries are very low by Western standards. Salary caps, which the government implements in an apparent attempt to prevent firms from circumventing restrictions on withdrawal of cash from banks, prevent many foreign firms from paying their workers as much as they would like. The threshold for the maximum income tax rate of 33% is 245,000 soum ($363) per year. Labor market regulations in Uzbekistan are similar to that of the Soviet Union, with all rights guaranteed but some rights unobserved. The only known case of workers striking since independence was of Turkish construction workers striking against their Turkish employer over working conditions. - With the closure or downsizing of many foreign firms, it is relatively easy to find qualified, well-trained employees, and salaries are very low by Western standards.
