ABSTRACT: The present paper focuses on the development of wage distribution in the Czech Republic in the period shortly before, during and after the global economic crisis. Special attention is paid to wage development in the agricultural sector and its comparison with the industrial and construction sectors’ wage levels. The article deals with the development of statistical characteristics of the level, variability and concentration in the given period, mentioning the changes in these characteristics in the course of the economic recession. Since the relationship between the wage levels in the agricultural, industrial and construction sectors is monitored in other countries as well, the research topic can be analyzed within the whole European context, a comparison of the wage levels in the Czech Republic and other countries being drawn.”.

KEYWORDS: Global economic recession, development of wage distribution, agricultural sector, industrial sector, construction sector, wage levels in European countries
