Abstract
Based on the data obtained in 2018, the influence of informal employment on political orientation is analyzed. The author examines an influence of the official and informal employment on the assessment of the political situation, political competence and political activity, trust in political institutions. Informally employed people show a higher level of criticism in assessing the political situation, a lower level of political activity and participation, trust in political institutions, compared with officially employed for a long time. Informally employed people demonstrate a greater level of alienation from state policy, both at the level of real participation and at the level of the political interest and competence in that area. Such a position may be an expression of some dissatisfaction with their situation and a possible reaction of citizens to the inability or failure of the state to provide social guarantees in the field of labor and employment.
