The study analyzes the situation on the labor market in four regions of the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation in the context of a professional group of engineering and technical specialties. The analysis was performed to identify the conformity of training volumes, the structure of employment by education, the structure and dynamics of active resumes and vacancies. The purpose of the research is to identify trends in demand for engineering qualifications in a strategic perspective and to overcome the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. The authors revealed the tendency to increase and equalize the expenditures of regional budgets on education, and to reduce output in the studied group of specialties. The structure of supply and demand in labor markets of the Volga Federal District, which is characterized by a highly competitive situation among applicants and a decrease in job offers, is determined. The necessity of advanced training of engineering and technical specialists with basic digital skills is justified.
