We examine the relationship between satisfaction with one’s finances and agreement to the statement, “Immigrants take jobs away from people born in America” as measured in the GSS 2014. Responses to the immigrant statement (IMMJOBS) are measured on an ordinal scale: 1 = strongly agree, 2 = agree, 3 = neither, 4 = disagree, and 5 = strongly disagree. Does agreement to the statement vary by how satisfied the individual is with his or her financial situation?

1. Set alpha at .01, and test the null hypothesis of equal means.

2. What is the eta-squared for this model?
