With the perspective of productive factor input, the paper establishedflexible effect variable interception panel data models to analyze the cointergration between energyinput and employment.The results shows that energy input, employment has long-term complement cointergration. Theenergy-saving and emission-reduction policies will cause the cost of energy increasing which reduce theemployment, especially in mining industry, manufacturing industry,wholesale and retail sale trades。When the cost of energy increases, the employment percent adjusted among different industries, whichshows positive employment structure impact.
