Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to analyze the differences between Polish agricultural production cooperatives and other farming entities in the context of the employment. The conclusions are made on the basics of the analysis of the “List of the 300 best agricultural enterprises” pre-pared by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics. The time range of this research covers the years 2009 – 2013. The main finding is that there are no clear, significant differences between agricultural pro-duction cooperatives and other farming entities in terms of employment. However, some of them are able to create a lot of workplaces. Moreover, they can increase the return on sales by increasing the level of employment and maintain existing jobs even in the time of the global crisis.
