The employment of the local population is a topical problem in Latvia and its regions. There is an economic and social need to promote employment both in Europe and in Latvia. The research aim is to investigate and evaluate the main factors of direct effect on employment in the regions of Latvia. The findings, based on the expert method, showed that the following significant factors have a direct effect on employment: number of jobs, wage, number of working population, number of enterprises, and demographic burden. The correlation analysis showed that there was a strong correlation between the number of vacant jobs and the number of employed persons in the regions of Vidzeme, Kurzeme, and Latgale. A medium strong correlation was observed in the regions of Riga, Pieriga, and Zemgale. With an increase in the number of vacant jobs, the number of employed persons in the regions of Latvia also rose and vice verse. The present research found that stimulation of the factors of direct effect on employment would promote employment in Latvia's regions.
