Introduction
Job satisfaction has been investigated in several disciplines such as psychology (Argyle 1989), sociology (Hodson,1985;Kalleberg and Loscocco ,1983), economics (Hamermesh 1977, 2001; Freeman, 1978), and management sciences (Hunt and Saul ,1975). Employers prefer that their employees be satisfied, since employees satisfaction is closely related to their labor market behavior such as productivity, quits and absenteeism. Several findings indicate that job satisfaction is as good predictor of quits as wages (Freeman, 1978; Akerlof et al., 1988; Clark et al. (1998). For this reason it is important to study the determinants of job satisfaction. Different aspects of job satisfaction are studied in the literature. These include job satisfaction with gender (Clark ,1997), wage growth (Clark ,1999), age (Hunt and Saul (1975), Clark et al., 1996), comparison income and unemployment
