tiga faktor yaitu faktor upah, jangka waktu pembayaran upah, dan prestise sosial. Hal ini
dibuktikan dengan hasil taraf signifikan (α) + 0,05, diperoleh hasil (α) = 0,05, sehingga tabel
dengan dk= 98 adalah 1,984, hal ini berarti hipotesis nol ditolak. Artinya dari hasil perhitungan
antara variabel X dan Y, dimana nilai b = 0,92 yang artinya setiap kenaikan 100 satuan akan
menyebabkan kenaikan Y sebesar 0,92. Selanjutnya koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,86 yang
signifikan , menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan atau keterkaitan antara faktor pengupahan,
jangka waktu pembayaran upah, dan prestise sosial terhadap perubahan profesi buruh tani, serta
dalam analisis regresi. Kuadrat koefisien korelasi (π ) yang merupakan koefisien determinasi
adalah sebesar 0,73 = 73%. Hal ini menyiratkan bahwa pengaruh perpindahan kerja dari buruh
tani ke buruh tani dapat dijelaskan oleh faktor upah, lamanya hari pembayaran, dan dan prestise

INTRODUCTION
If this number relates to coconut production, then we will get 250,49 tons of copra
in one harvest season. One harvest season 3 (three) months or 4 (four) times in a year. If
we calculate the amount of income in one season, the calculation can start from one (1)
coconut tree produces 30 coconuts, then each hectare consists of 120-125 coconut trees,
then if we take the minimum amount in one hectare, the each hectare will produces 30x
120=3600 coconuts. So that from 347,9 hectares of coconut farming land will produce
3600x 347,9 =1.252.440 coconuts
If each ton of copra requires 5000 coconuts, it will get the result 1.252.440 : 5000
=250,49 tons. If this amount is converted to rupiah, then every one ton of copra will be
worth 9-10 million rupiahs., then by taking the lowest price, the result is 250,49 x Rp.
9000000 = Rp.2.254.410.000.
The amount of Rp. 2.254.410.000 is not a small number as an incomeof a village,
because if the profit obtained is 2:1, it means that there is 1.502.800.000 rupiahs for the
owner of the farming, while 751.400.000 rupiahs is for the workers. The result obtained
is not only huge enough for an area with a population of 1893 people or 585 households
(source of village, 2021), but also this sector needs alot of human resources as the labors.
Because every 1(one) ton of copra can be done by 30 workers, if the production of
pakuweru village is 250,49 tons, then the workers required is 250,49 x 30 = 7515 workers
in 3 harvest season., or or 2505 workers every month or 100,2 workers everydays (25
workdays every month, Sundays are not counted)
The amount presented above define the great role of agricultural sector in the life
of people in pakuweru village, esspecially in therms of their human resources. This
process has actually lasted for a long time, which indicates that it always been a
promising sector for the workers (including the owners and the workers), this is because,
by working in this sector, their income can be used, not only to build houses, but also to
finance the education of the children.
This job sector also in different ways has its own role, because the farm working
can b be a considerable thing for a person when he wants to get married, where the man
who has permanent job in this sector might be considered as a man who is worthy of
marriage. Therefore work in the coconut farming sector is a dream of every farmers, they
are very proud with this job. This sector became one of the promising superior job for the
people of pakuweru village, even many workers come outside of the village tried to work
in this sector. But after all this time, the coconut farming sector which is the superior job
of the workers, gradualy change in which the workers of this sector begin to leave their
job and choose the other job that is asssumed as a job that can give more benefit as the
