This article presents the results of a study of the rural labor market and its insecurity in the municipality of Coatepec Harinas, in southern Estado de México. Results show the occupational diversity prevailing in that area, as well as specialization in floriculture, which are notable aspects of the new rurality. Based on the data collected during field-work, a Job Security Index was calculated and stratified to show the level of job insecurity among the working population.

Keywords : rural labor market; occupational diversity; employed population; job insecurity; Job Security Index; rural space.
