Nonetheless, there are challenges the country is facing, one of which is the coming into being of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

The research uses Multiple Linear Regression with backward elimination method. Re-sults of the research indicated that independent variables in the model showed a negative and significant influence on the economy. To that end, working below 15 hours, and unemployment of the educated are the two most important problems facing in Indonesian labor market. Rec-ommended solutions to the problem is to encourage educated unemployed to participate in Mi-cro and Small Manufactures that deal in processing agricultural commodities to become ready-to-consumer goods.
