Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the role of employment development carried out by the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of East Java Province to companies and workers affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The research used random sampling, involving 859 companies in East Java with a reported number of 316,497 workers. The qualitative research method is descriptive analysis based on data on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, namely the number of layoffs (terminations), the number of workers laid off, the number of workers minus wages, and the number of companies closed/not operating. The results of the analysis have revealed that the government plays an important role in efforts to foster and protect the law on the implementation of public policies in the form of labor regulations during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. Suggestions for the formulation of further employment public policies reduce the incidence of employment problems and create peace at work.
