Economic Growth, Education Level, Minimum Wage, Labor AbsorptionAbstract
Looking at the 2010–2024 timeframe, this study explores how economic growth, education levels, and the minimum wage shape labor absorption in both Mojokerto and Jombang Regencies. A quantitative approach was taken, relying on secondary time-series data from the Badan Pusat Statistik for those two regions. The analysis itself was carried out using multiple linear regression, with EViews 10 handling the computations. This contrast points to how local labor market traits and economic structures shape such varying outcomes. These findings lend theoretical support to the Solow-Swan and Keynesian frameworks, where labor absorption hinges on three things: the skill level of human resources, technological progress, and how much buying power the public holds. The hope is that local authorities will draw on this study when crafting sharper, more practical job policies.
