Table 6 gives the respondents' ratings on whether various aspects of their
jobs were more important or less important.
Three quarters or more of
sample considered in fact that a good income, a high level of security,-
good working conditions, good welfare benefits and a just employer were
important and a smaller number, just over 60, considered good prospects
for getting ahead and convenient hours of work important. Generous
holidays were only considered important by less than half of the respondents
while a strong trade union and, despite the propositions of writers such
as England and fear, the presence of relatives and clansmen at a person's
workplace were considered to be important by only very few respondents.

The respondents were also asked which two aspects were the mosa important.
Sixty-six of the respondents in fact considered a good income to be one
of the two most important items in job choice; considerably less frequently
chosen by the respondents were good prospects for getting ahead (36) and
