This study aims to analyze the characteristics of highly educated unemployment in Jakarta. The logistic regression model is used to analyze the labor force associated to important aspects such as highly educational attainment, age, gender, marital status, and status in the household. This study finds that being less-educated, young, male, single, and member of the household respectively increase the probability of being unemployed.
