Through econometric models construction the author evaluates the effects of capital-labor ratio and human capital, where the latter is characterized by the employees’ educational level, on profits of enterprises and organizations, operating in Russia.

For the most part this effect is due to the capital-labor ratio, while the lesser, though essential part of the said effect is due to the employees human capital. It is shown, that the elasticity of profit in terms of employees human capital exceeds manifold the profit elasticity in terms of capital-labor ratio, meaning that the effect of changes in human capital level on the labor productivity exceeds manifold that of changes in capital-labor ratio.
