Many believe that jobs in the US have changed a great deal over time. In two time periods (1989 and 1998) adults in the US were asked about their jobs on the General Social Survey. Respondents were asked how much they agree with the following statements: my income is high; my job is secure; my opportunities for advancement are high; my job is interesting; I can work independently. Higher numerical responses reflect greater agreement with each statement (1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=neither agree or disagree, 4=agree, and 5=strongly agree). Did average agreement with seeing jobs as secure decline over time for US workers (α=0.01)?

x bar	3.90	3.77
s	0.98	1.01
