This study introduces the concept of implicit decent jobs and explores their regional characteristics. When quantitative indicators of job quality (e.g., wages, working hours, contract type, pension provision) are unavailable, a deep learning model is proposed to predict decent jobs using only job titles and descriptions. The model, based on XLM-RoBERTa and trained on 50,302 postings with explicit information from the WorkNet Open API, achieved 74.3% accuracy. It was then applied to 13,008 postings lacking such data, identifying 5,418 as implicit decent jobs. These jobs are more common in skill-intensive or flexible manufacturing sectors and tend to reflect the unique traits of their regions.
