The data analysis technique used is panel data analysis with the chosen approach, namely the random effect model. Based on the results of the simultaneous test, this study shows that the four independent variables together have a positive and significant influence on labor absorption in the DIY Province. Meanwhile, based on the results of the partial test, it shows that the variables of government expenditure and inflation have a positive and significant effect on labor absorption. Investment and economic growth variables have a negative and significant effect on labor absorption. Implication of the study is the importance of the effectiveness of government expenditure and investment to increase labor absorption and strengthen the environment of investment to stimulate labor absorption in DIY.
