Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence labor absorption in South Sumatra in 1998-2017. Result. The results of this study indicate that the provincial minimum wage has no effect on labor absorption in South Sumatra. However, economic growth, investment, and minimum wages in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors affect labor absorption in South Sumatra. Conclusion. The results of the study showed that the government in South Sumatra should be concerned in preparing wage policies both for the provincial minimum wage and the sectoral minimum wage by considering various related parties such as companies and workers themselves.
