JobSat {vcdExtra} | R Documentation

## Cross-classification of job satisfaction by income

### Description

This data set is a contingency table of job satisfaction by income for a small sample of black males from the 1996 General Social Survey, as used by Agresti (2002) for an example.

### Usage

    data(JobSat)

### Format

A 4 x 4 contingency table of `income` by `satisfaction`, with the following structure:

     table [1:4, 1:4] 1 2 1 0 3 3 6 1 10 10 ...
     - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
      ..$ income      : chr [1:4] "< 15k" "15-25k" "25-40k" "> 40k"
      ..$ satisfaction: chr [1:4] "VeryD" "LittleD" "ModerateS" "VeryS"

### Details

Both `income` and `satisfaction` are ordinal variables, and are so ordered in the table. Measures of association, visualizations, and models should take ordinality into account.
