An examination of job satisfaction among men age 45 to 59 who are below the poverty level as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Census showed that job satisfaction is markedly influenced by a worker's perception of his job situation, his age, his educational attainment, and his change in real income over time. The data do not support the views, however, that: (1) the greater the weeks of unemployment in the past, the greater will be a worker's satisfaction with his job when he finally does secure employment; and (2) the greater the number of hours worked per week, the less his job satisfaction will be.
