A study reported in the Journal of Small Business Management concluded that self- employed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not self-employed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likert-type scale with 1-5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satis- faction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18–90, is used as the mea- sure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. The results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow.
