Abstract: Labor resources are one of the most important demographic characteristics and economic indicators. However, it would not be entirely correct to reduce the assessment of the size of labor resources only to measuring the population of a certain age and its dynamics by region. The purpose of this article is to estimate the labor force on the basis ofpublicly available statistical data. The novelty of the work lies in the attempt to develop a single indicator that simultaneously reflects the size and quality of the labor resources of the regions of Russia. The working hypothesis is that the quality of labor resources is not the same across the country, it tends to increase in the centers of attraction for workers, which are large cities. The study uses a graphical method of working with data, statistical and tabular analysis. One of the most important results worth noting is the introduction of the labor force index as a function of several statistical values that characterize not only the labor force, but also the level of education and health care in the regions. The uneven distribution of labor resources across the regions of Russia and the impact of labor migration are noted. A further direction of work may be a more detailed study of the components of the labor force index with the expansion of the number of indicators used. In other words, it is advisable to consider labor resources together with the development of the human capital of the regions.
