Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the factors that are thought to affect the increase in labor absorption. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence labor absorption in Central Java Province. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a panel data regression model. The best model selection test used is the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test (LM) Test which was carried out using the Eviews 9 software.
