Although an agricultural area, the population is mostly employed in Kruševac, a nearby city. Only a relatively small number of inhabitants, mostly old- generation, work strictly as farmers, except Young Stefan (the author of the well known Oxford dictionary). However, most of those employed in the city still work part-time on farming the land they own.
