Get answer: Marital status and job level. We sometimes hear that getting married is good
Chapter 0, Problem 6.24(choose chapter or problem)
Marital status and job level. We sometimes hear that getting married is good for your career. Table 6.4 presents data from one of the studies behind this generalization. To avoid gender effects, the investigators looked only at men. The data describe the marital status and the job level of all 8235 male managers and professionals employed by a large manufacturing firm.9 The firm assigns each position a grade that reflects the value of that particular job to the company. The authors of the study grouped the many job grades into quarters. Grade 1 contains jobs in the lowest quarter of the job grades, and Grade 4 contains those in the highest quarter. Exercises 6.19 to 6.23 are based on these data. 3 Association is not causation. The data in Table 6.4 show that single men are more likely to hold lower-grade jobs than are married men. We should not conclude that single men can help their career by getting married. What lurking variables might help explain the association between marital status and job grade?
