In the last decade the level of labour mobility of Russians went up one-and-a-half times; according to the official statistics 4% of economically active population is employed outside the region of their permanent residence. The article presents the results of a research on the conditions for labour mobility in a new reality of the digital economy development, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been established that there is a favorable background for lightening the growing imbalance of labour force. Distance (remote) working with the simultaneous de-urbanization of large cities will stimulate it. Some of the households, which include employed citizens, are willing to change their place of permanent residence to the suburbs, or the territories near the administrative boundaries of the city. These places are becoming favorable areas for doing business, and create the basis for the second wave of la- bour migration. The study may be useful for the representatives of government bodies, busi- ness entities, as well as for the researchers in this field.
