Abstract This paper analyzes the influence of economic growth, population and wages on the employment by unit root test, co integration test and panel model test with China’s province-level panel data of 1991-2009. It is found that the influence of economic growth on the employment has apparent regional characteristics and the employment-GDP elasticity has relatively strong negative correlation with the level of economic development; the increase of wages has positive influence on the employment and the employment-wages elasticity has strong positive correlation with the level of economic development; the influence of the change of total population on the employment doesn’t show regional characteristics and there exists weak correlation between the employment-wages elasticity and the level of economic development.
