This article examines the definition of indicators for poverty and want with regard to the working-age population of Russia through building and analysis of the distribution of the employees who are paid wages at the level of consumer groups:

-  values for consumer groups boundaries (first of all for groups with accrued wages lower, at or above the poverty line) are introduced;

-   calculation methodology for the frequency and relative frequency of the distribution of employees by main consumer groups is proposed;

-  calculations of the distribution of employees by main consumer groups in the Russian economy over the past 25 years have been made; the development dynamics for each of the groups have been analyzed along with its role in the distribution of employees by consumer groups;

-  dynamics of frequencies and relative frequencies of the number of employees by consumer groups broken down by economic activity is calculated and analyzed;

-   influence of ownership forms of the surveyed organizations on the distribution of employees by consumer groups in the Russian economy as a whole and by economic activity is analyzed;

-  professional composition of consumer groups of the employed working-age population is defined;

-  statistical sources for building the distribution of employees by consumer groups, their opportunities and shortcomings in ensuring the completeness of the analysis, were studied.
