The number of employed foreigners were 852,000, unemployed foreigners were 44,000 people and economically inactive foreigners had reached to 360,000 people. The range of the topic of discussion, this thesis will cover the empirical analysis of the determination which of the primary factor of Foreign Regular Employment. Before conducting the empirical analysis, previous studies and the background theory of residential foreigners are presented. Due to the need to have a grasp on the characteristics, patterns and present state of the survey's target population, a statistical analysis was done on the actual conditions of Foreigner Employment. In the first empirical analysis, a basic statistical analysis was conducted in order to gain a better understanding on the participation and economical activities of foreigners who are the age of 15 and above in the Korean Labor Market. In the second analysis, a logistic regression analysis was conducted in order to understand the influence of the determining factor of regular employment. The result of the regression analysis showed that a significant positive effect is seen for males rather than females, people in their forties rather than those in their twenties, a higher educational background, Non-Asian nationalities rather than Korean-Chinese, larger scale companies and manufacturing companies. In addition, a significant negative influence is seen for working areas closer to the capital city, those with Korean spouses, those with visitor's visa or overseas Korean rather than those with non-professional employment as residential qualifications. Also the negative influence was seen for office, service, sales, machinist, fabrication, agricultural and simple labor occupations rather than those with management or professional occupations.
