Although the character of countryside is still changing as a consequence of the historical development, agriculture (farming of the land) always represents one of its essential attributes. The authors of this paper analyze the current structure of agricultural workers, their views, opinions and attitudes toward their work, as well as the perception of agriculture by the public.

Keywords: agriculture, rural area, agricultural workers, employment, private enterprise
