glasses, I wasn't arguing against the fact Latvia is not rich and Eastern Latvia is even poorer.
However, I was arguing against your words

Minorities do not really have any chance to get such jobs. Because officials, policemen and so on are balts only. The quote I provided you earlier clearly denies your words.
By the way:

Most Russians reside in cities with better work perspectives and higher salaries, not in rural areas where unemployment is widespread.
