Abstract
This research aims to present a dynamic interaction between the labor market and agricultural structure, based on a field survey conducted in a village in the southern part of the Okinawa Main Island. The study found that although the surveyed farm laborers seldom faced low non-farming wages in the 2010s, their labor market has two layers. The lower wages range as low as those of the unskilled workers, therefore, a modicum of youth demographic has returned to full-time farming. The income from their lettuce farming helps to realize their expectations. Hence, an agricultural structure of heavy upper/mid layers has been formed even in one of the most preferred local labor markets in Okinawa.
