In national economic development, there is a gap between the growth of the workforce and the willingness of various economic sectors to absorb labor, making job opportunities still a major problem in the economy. Employment opportunities are influenced by several factors, namely the level of education, provincial minimum wage , and the number of industries. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect and analyze the variables of Education level, Provincial Minimum Wage , and Number of Industries on Employment Opportunities in East Java Province 1995-2020. This study uses the Multiple Regression analysis tool method with time series. The results of the study show that simultaneously the variables of Education Level, Provincial minimum wage, and Number of Industries have a significant effect on Employment Opportunities in East Java Province in 1995-2020. The coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that 95 percent of employment opportunities and the remaining 5 percent are explained by other variables not examined. Partially the level of education, Provincial Minimum Wage, and Number of Industries have a significant effect on Job Opportunities in East Java Province.

The aims of this study is determining the level of unemployment index then linking the calculation of the unemployment and poverty index through mapping the economic typology, so in the end determining the form of government intervention on the solution of rigidity in the labor market and its relation to poverty in the residency area. The location of research is the area of East Java that called "Tapal Kuda". The research method used was a descriptive quantitative analysis of the location typology mapping by strengthening the results of calculation of index numbers and poverty. The results of the study reveal that the unemployment index for the majority of Tapal Kuda areas is said to be bad and has high poverty rates. This is inversely proportional to the potential of the Tapal Kuda area as a gateway for the distribution of goods and services, through an analytical approach, the availability of local community access to the economy is minimal, the lack of strengthening a community-based economy, the labor market is rigid, and wages are absorbed in the society with formal employment. The form of government policy recommendations is expected to strengthen the economy of society through local wisdom, bipartite strengthening between the government and companies with flexible wages. Reducing the amount of poverty can be done by stimulating wage policies, aligning the informal sector, strengthening MSMEs, reducing the consumption pattern of luxury goods, increasing per capita income through employment and increasing non-physical investment.

This study aims to calculate the strength of interaction between regions and determine the variables determining the level of interaction between regions. This research was conducted in the area of East Java province with the object of 39 regencies and cities using the variable mileage, educational facilities, and health facilities. The data used are secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency of East Java, meanwhile the analytical tool used is gravity analysis and regression analysis, with the regression model used is panel data regression, the Random Effect model. The results showed that the areas in the interaction category were weak, namely the southern part of East Java, the western part and the eastern part while those in the interaction category were in the middle eastern part of Java. Category of regions with strong interaction are Gerbang kertosusila and surrounding areas. From the random effect model regression analysis it is known that the distance, education and health facilities variables together influence 95% of the level of interaction between regions and the most dominant variable is the distance between regions which has a regression coefficient of -62480222. Health facility variable has a significant positive effect while education facility variable has no effect on interactions between regions. Therefore, in order for equitable development to be realized immediately, the distance between regions must be shortened by improving the quality of roads, construction of new roads and toll roads, especially in the southern, eastern and eastern parts of Java.
