Analysis Of Sectoral Employment Opportunities Elasticity In East Kutai Regency
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze and determine the effect of employment as well as elasticity on the agricultural, mining, and industrial sectors in East Kutai. The data used are secondary data, namely labor force growth and economic growth (GRDP) in East Kutai from 2016 to 2024. This study uses quantitative analysis techniques. The analytical tools used are the Cobb Douglas function and employment elasticity analysis.The results show that the agricultural and mining sectors do not significantly influence employment opportunities in East Kutai Regency, but the industrial sector does. The results of the study indicate that the employment elasticity of the agricultural, mining, and industrial sectors is greater than 1 (elastic). This indicates that a 1% increase in GRDP growth will result in an increase in the number of workers available for absorption of more than 1%.
