Abstract: The research proposes an comparative analysis of the evolution of labour costs in the national agricultural sector in the period 2017-2021. The study was conducted using data provided by the national and European statistical systems. For bibliographic documentation, the official releases of the National Institute of Statistics, Google Scholar, Clarivate Analytics, and ResearchGate were taken into account. The results of the comparative analysis of labour costs have shown a steady increase across all sectors of activity at the national level in Romania, including in the agricultural sector. The agricultural sector records costs significantly below the national average, an important aspect to be considered in the development of strategies for optimizing the management of agricultural enterprises. The lack of balance in labour costs can have effects on the financial performance and competitiveness of businesses, as well as on the job market and the overall economy.
