The calculations used the statistical information of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2010 and2017 years. 4 stable clusters were obtained. Each group is characterized by the features of in the following areas:implementation of labor-resource potential in the labor market of rural settlements; demoeconomic development of rural settlement network; socio-economic results of the functioning of the labor market and the efficiency of the rural economy. Analysis has shown that in the process of its development, rural labor markets show different reactions to the impact of macroeconomic and political factors. The result is an increase in the asymmetry and differentiation of the social development of the regions, and the division in the level of competitiveness.The following trends of rural labor markets in all regions are identified: distribution of areas by clusters is fairly stable; curtailing the scope of employment in the full labor market of rural settlements in all regions, reducing the ILO employment rate and increasing ILO unemployment; reorientation of rural households to use their own work and limitation of hired labor; an analysis of 2010-2017 showed stability and inertia of the employment structure of the rural economy and trends in economic activity; some regions are able to mobilize their own resources for economic growth and therefore develop most dynamically; some labor markets are increases peripheral features and depression; some regions have some positive dynamics in the development of the rural labor market in only a few aspects; in many regions, centripetal trends in the transformation of the settlement network and the curtailment of the social space of rural areas are intensifying.The dynamics of the of the regions rural labor markets development does not contain any indicators that would identify the development as socioeconomic, in which the socio-political and socio-economic impact is determined by the level of human development and is estimated by the achieved human development parameters.
