I. INTRODUCTION
Unemployment is one of the main employment problems faced by several regions in Indonesia. So that unemployment is a very complex problem because it affects and is influenced by many factors that interact with each other following a pattern that is not always easy to understand. Therefore, the unemployment rate is one measure of efficiency in the economy. When unemployment occurs, some of the available labor inputs are not used, which means a loss of production. Growing unemployment in development is a more complicated and more serious problem than the problem of changes in income distribution that are less favorable to low-income people. The situation in various regions in Indonesia in the last few decades shows that the development that has been created is unable to provide employment opportunities that are faster than population growth. Therefore, the unemployment problem faced from year to year is getting more serious.
