Abstract

The 2019 Coronavirus Disease pandemic (COVID-19) has spread and spread all over the world. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic to various countries has such a terrible impact on the aspects of human life. Some aspect of the human life has changed instantly with the emergence of the outbreak. In addition to having a direct impact on human health aspects, the COVID-19 epidemic has also had a huge impact on world economic order for both developed and developing countries. There has been a lot of research into the impact of COVID-19 on employment, but large-scale research using probability sampling techniques is still rare. The study examines the impact of COVID-19 on wage fluctuations in West Tanjung Jabung Regency. The data used in this study came from the results of the National Labour Force Survey (Sakernas) August 2021 conducted by the BPS West Tanjung Jabung Regency with the number of samples respectively of 56 Census Blocks or about 1.052 households scattered in 13 districts in West Tanjung Jabung Regency. The method used in this research is to use binary logistic regression analysis. The results confirmed that about 15.27 percent of workers earned less than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Logistical regression results suggested that Age, Gender Type, Education, Business Field, Working Hours, and COVID-19 Impact Status had significant values below 5 percent. This means that the six variables have an influence in determining the risk of workers experiencing a wage decline in the district of Tanjung Jabung West.
