EFFECT OF SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION STRUCTURE OF EMPLOYMENT IN CENTRAL JAVA

Industry, agriculture and THR sectors are some of the leading sectors in Central Java . Central Java with the
capital city of Semarang City, is the third in Indonesia with the highest population in addition to West Java and East Java. Given the high population density and economic growth rate, it should also be followed by the sector's ability to absorb the available employment.

The results of this study are the variables that significantly influence the model are the variables workforce, agricultural GDP value, THR GDP value, and wage employment. While significant variables have significant and significant influence in the spatial model are the variables workforce, industrial GDP value, agricultural GDP value, and
