Most job reforms in terms of digitalisation stem from technology and information. The changes and developments that take place in this sector of activity subsequently determine what will be the changes in the labor market for all bald areas of activity (Aleksynska et al., 2019). Thus, there can be no discussion about the digitalisation of agriculture itself as an individual sector, nor about other isolated areas. Digitalization takes place among employees, the workforce and acts in the direction of changing the job description of a particular profession (De Stefano et al., 2018). Digitalisation does not depend only on the way of automation and technology of technical processes (Asmer et al., 2022). It also largely depends on the ability of individuals to adapt and educate themselves digitally (Veselko and Gaurav, 2021). In this way, jobs do not change only as a structure, but are modernized and make way for the emergence of new jobs, new specializations that require training from several fields of activity or a greater deepening of a certain field (Graham et al., 2017). The statement is valid for all fields of activity, starting from the financial sector of activity where the activity is aimed at processing large databases, to activities specific to the humanities, sociological field (Horton et al., 2017). This paper is concerted on the interpretation of those elements that alter a certain structure of the labor market, as well as the way in which these changes propagate.
