Work for psychologists and educators.
A scientist was commissioned to investigate whether psychology and education graduates succeed in finding level jobs. The researcher designed his own questionnaire consisting of 12 Likert items with 5 response options ranging from completely disagree (1) to completely agree (5). An example of an item is: I had to put a lot of effort to find a job opening for a level job. The responses of 608 educators (1) and psychologists (2), distinguished in the variable [psy_ped], to the 12 items are shown in the data file. NOTES. The more the respondent agrees with the statements, the more difficult he/she finds it to find a level job.
