SCENARIO 14-17
Given below are results from the regression analysis where the dependent variable is the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff (Unemploy)and the independent variables are the age of the worker (Age)and a dummy variable for management position (Manager: 1 = yes,0 = no).
