*The authors calculate the indicators according to the Republic of Tatarstan. We want to draw attention to the situation of workers of such categories as tractor drivers, machine operators, and machine milking operators, whose number during the analyzed period decreased by 2.2 and 2.3 thousand people, respectively [4–8]. Along with the reduction in the number of agricultural workers, their structure is changing. During the study period, the proportion of workers in the total number of workers is reduced. Although the proportion of tractor drivers has increased by 1.7 %, while their number has decreased by 20 %. This situation is primarily due to positive trends in the development of the crop sector in the region – a feature of structural changes in the comparison of permanent and temporary workers. At the same time, there is a tendency to increase in the share of specialists, which increased by 1.4 %, which may be a decisive factor, indicating, for example, the growing role of intellectual labor in agricultural production [6].
