Summary/Abstract: The depopulation of rural areas in Bulgaria is proceeding at a faster rate than in non-rural areas. This process produces significant negative effects, consisting in deepening the demographic crisis, hampering the functioning of labour markets, health, education and social services. Our research objective is to produce a descriptive and dispersion analysis of employment and unemployment in rural areas in Bulgaria and on this basis we compare them with those in urban areas. In conclusion, the hypotheses are verified, for the significant individual deviations of values from the average within the indicator group determine differences between employment and unemployment between rural and non-rural municipalities, and that differences in employment and unemployment rates between rural municipalities predetermine the significant differentiation in the rural areas themselves.
