Given:

800 randomly selected individuals

583 responded they were employed

148 responded they were not employed

583 + 148 = 731

800 - 731 = 69 missing response.

I think that the problem with this study is correlation and causality.

The correlation between two variables does not mean that it is the cause of the other variable. There are still a lot of factors to consider.

When one says he or she is not employed, it may mean that said individual is either a student or business owner.
