摘要：Unemployment and inflation are two macroeconomic problems that have a trade-off, this means that the relationship between inflation and unemployment is negative and the relationship is also called the Phillips curve. The increase in the minimum wage is one of the causes of inflation and unemployment. This study aims to determine the relationship between minimum wage and inflation, the relationship between minimum wage and unemployment, the relationship between inflation and unemployment. This study uses panel data from 38 regions with the period 2010-2019 in East Java-Indonesia. Data is collected from the Central Bureau of Statistics of East Java. Data were analyzed with the Amos. The results showed that the real minimum wage had a negative and significant effect on inflation. Real minimum wages have a positive and significant effect on unemployment. Inflation has a positive and significant effect on unemployment. There is no trade-off between inflation and unemployment, this study does not support the Phillips curve. The real minimum wage has a direct negative effect on inflation, inflation has a positive effect on unemployment, thus causing the real minimum wage to have a negative effect indirectly on unemployment. The relationship between inflation and unemployment shows that higher inflation tends to lead to higher unemployment. The determination coefficient for inflation was 5.5 percent and the determination coefficient for unemployment was 2.3 percent.
