Abstract: The contribution offers analysis of the position of the graduates from the University of South Bohemia, the Faculty of Agriculture, in labour market. The situation is analyzed from the viewpoint of possible difficulties in finding a job, and opportunities in particular professional spheres. The study attempts to answer the question of possible unemployment risks connected with particular study programs, and problems of the occurrence of sexism. Statistical analysis involved the graduates from the Faculty of Agriculture, University of South Bohemia, from the years 1995 - 1997. Questionnaires return was 23,7 %, which correspondents with the standard. With respect to the character of respondents set we used inductive statistical method including the multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that the study programs at the Faculty of Agriculture are perspective. Only 2 % of the graduates admitted difficulties with finding a job despite searching for it, and 3,1 % of the graduates lost their jobs subsequently. The worsening situation in labour market became evident within the range of difficulties connected with the search for job. With 95 % reliability it is possible to presume that only 26 - 53 % of graduates managed to find a job without any problems. The others had to face problems of different intensity. Contacting official institutions such as employment offices proved to be useless. It was more reliable to exert personal initiative. Changing the employer is not typical. Though most graduates work outside their professional field, they appreciate being employed and their employers are satisfied with their work. None of the study programs proved to be connected with future unemployment risk. Women had to face more problems when looking for a job. Also changing the employer is more typical of women.
