This study identified factors influencing the entry of middle and old aged workers into good jobs, by using the logistic regression analysis. The results showed that only 21.6% of middle and old aged workers secured good jobs which are defined as full-time, and regular positions with more than 2/3 of the median wage. In personal characteristics, people with higher public transfer income and smaller assets income had a significantly higher likelihood of getting a good job. In human capital characteristics, two-year college graduates had an increased possibility of getting a good job than elementary school graduates. Moreover, people who previously had regular jobs had a higher likelihood of getting a good job than people who previously had irregular jobs. In current job characteristics, people engaged in management/ professional/clerical work, technical work, and sales/services had a higher likelihood of getting a better job than people engaged in agriculture/forestry/fishery and simple labor. Also people worked at companies with 300-999 employees had a higher likelihood of getting a better job than people worked at companies with less than 5 employees. The study suggested that it is important to provide employment support services before changing a job to improve the likelihood of getting a good job. Furthermore, it revealed that employment support services should support people to consider type of occupation and business size which increase the likelihood of getting a good job.
