The unemployment in the countryside is based on certain non-specific problems, which are characteristic for the whole Czech society. On the other hand, there are also problems characteristic only for the considered region with respect to regional specific features of particular regions.
There is still a problem of a group of citizens, who remained unemployed after their release from the agricultural production. The social profile of this group of inhabitants of the country can be characterized as a group of citizen with rather low education and insufficient experience for independent undertaking activity, who encounter a number of problems when searching for the employment. The countryside also ever encounters a considerable lack of interest on the part of investors. Certain regional differences can be, however, present between particular regions within the country areas. For example, the vicinity of larger enterprises in the agglomerated axis of cities of the county of Tabor also presents certain undertaking opportunities for neighboring villages - in contrast to less industrial cities of the county of Písek.
