Students usually are employed on a part time basis and quit their jobs when their studies are over. The study found that there is a significant relationship between wages and length of employment. Individuals with higher salaries tend to stay longer. Individuals who have other jobs outside the community facilities have a shorter length of employment than other employees. Marital status is also a significant predictor of longevity.
Married workers are more stable than single workers.
