The number of workers employed in agriculture is characterized by the following data (Table 2) [4].

Table 2 – Number of workers employed in the economy of the Kemerovo region, th. people

Index	2005	2006	2007	2008	Changes 2008/ 2005

The share of employed in agriculture and forestry	4,60	4,43	4,16	3,80	-0,8	82,61

As for the wages, there is a tendency of growth (Table 3):

Wages	Year	Changes 2008/2004
2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	+/-	%

In average on agriculture	2 904	3 875	5 080	6 544	8 481	5 577	292,0

Let’s consider the distribution of employed in agricultural production by level of education (Table 4). [2]

Table 4 – The distribution of employed in agriculture by level of education, thousands of people

Level of education	Years	Changes 2008/2006
2006	2007	2008	+/-	%
Fligh and incomplete high professional education	3,3	1,8	3,3	0	100
Middle professional education	8,9	4,6	10,8	1,9	121,3
Primary professional education	13,2	10,1	9,8	- 3,4	74,2
Secondary education	19,7	21,5	14,8	- 4,9	75,1
Basic, general education	10,8	13,2	10,8	0	100
Primary education	2,3	4	0,6	- 1,7	26,1
Total	58,2	55,2	50,1	- 8,1	86,1

To visualize the data on the distribution of employed by education in 2008 let s make a diagram (Fig. 2).

Based on the data presented in diagram 2, we make the following conclusions: the majority (29%) employed in agriculture have secondary education, a significant number of people have the basic, general education (22%), middle professional education (21%) and primary education (20%). Share of specialists with high education is only 7%. This indicates not high qualification of employed in agriculture. As you can see 1% has only primary education or doesn’t even have it. But in general, analyzing the structure we can conclude that the qualification level of employed in agricultural production has increased.

Analyzing the problems of the village we can notice quite a paradox: on the one hand there is unemployment, but on the other hand there is no wish to get the vacant, often low-wages jobs.

Another problem is the low wages of agricultural workers. Let’s consider the data on wages in agriculture. (Table 5)

Table 5 – Average monthly wage of agricultural workers compared with

the average wages for all sectors of the economy

Index	Years	Changes 2008/2004
2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	+/-	%
Average wages in agriculture	2 904	3 875	5 080	6 544	8 481	5 577	292,0
Average wages in economic sector	6 707	8 654	10 408	12 555	15 410	8 703	229,8

From the submitted data in table 7, we see that the wage from 2004 to 2008 increased. The pace of wage growth in agriculture is higher than in other industries. But in spite of this in 2008 the wages in agriculture only reached the level of wages which was in economic sectors in 2005.

Let’s consider the structure and dynamics of investments in different sectors of economy of the Kemerovo region in . (Table 6):

Table 6 – Financial investments by economic activities, rubles.

Index	Years	Changes 2007/2009
2007	2008	2009	+/-	%
Agriculture, hunting and forestry		69 580	75 263		62,68
Extraction of natural resources	92	81	369		399,09
Manufacturing	75	76	52		69,81
Production and distribution of electricity, gas and water		8	3	2	458,33
Construction		1		-1 130	99,88
Wholesale and retail trade	4	6	14	10	325,86
Transport and communications					633,30
Total investments	193	183	447		230,8329

Based on the data presented in table 9, we can conclude that the proportion of investments in agriculture is less than 0,02% of total investments in all economic activities. This indicates a low investment attractiveness of agriculture compared with other sectors of the economy.
