In this article, according to the nature of the research, the extraction of the labor demand function by minimizing the firm's cost function according to Lam Shephard's theorem, and the model used in this research is the fixed effects model using panel data. The results show that the variables of value added and employment of the previous period have a greater contribution than other variables affecting employment.
