Three major employment impact factors- social and economic development factor, industrial structure factor and laborer quality factor - are obtained from the factor analysis of the 30 indexes. And a linear regression model of employment impact factors to the employment rate of Shandong Province is set up by taking advantage of data of Shandong statistical yearbooks between 1978 and 2008.
