Abstract Based on the inter-provincial panel data between 1996 and 2011 and by using the Generalized Method of Moment(GMM)of Dynamic Panel Data Model , this paper makes a study of the dynamic effect and regional difference of foreign direct investment(FDI)on the employment in China. The results show that the regional difference about the effect of FDI on the employment is significant in China and FDI has a significant crowding-out effect on China’s regional employment. Only FDI last year has a significant creation effect on employment of the Central China while FDI in other periods and regions has a negative effect on the employment this year. Therefore, the introduction of FDI in China cannot absorb more workforces, and it is very difficult to rely on FDI to alleviate domestic employment pressure.
